How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling in Monk Bretton without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Barnsley and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When to call us in Monk Bretton
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Monk Bretton
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are there extra charges for Monk Bretton?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
