How we handle bath re-enamelling in Monk Street
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What a repair cannot fix
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
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

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

Questions from Monk Street
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Monk Street?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CM6 postcode.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the whole UK

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
What we are called out for in Monk Street
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Wear marks under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Repair dripping taps early
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
