What we’re called out for in Monken Hadley
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Monken Hadley
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and wear marks under the taps, we can normally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Monken Hadley
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are there extra charges for Monken Hadley?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
