About our bath re-enamelling in Monkerton
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Monkerton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairing versus replacing in Monkerton
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Landlord and trade work in Monkerton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Monkerton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
When to call us in Monkerton
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that will not shift
