About our bath re-enamelling in Monkhill
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can generally put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Monkhill as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Monkhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Monkhill: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover the whole of Wakefield?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
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.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Monkhill
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What prep work is covered
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
