Bath re-enamelling in Monikie without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Monikie and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow most of the day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Monikie as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What else we do in Monikie
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Monikie. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Questions from Monikie
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
