Bath re-enamelling at your home in Monks Orchard
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Monks Orchard. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CR0 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Other services in Monks Orchard
Landlord and trade work in Monks Orchard
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
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.
Monks Orchard: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Monks Orchard?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Monks Orchard?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
