Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Monk's Gate

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Monk's Gate

  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

Common questions in Monk's Gate

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
