Bath re-enamelling in Monkscross, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Monkscross
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Monkscross.
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.
Will you leave a mess?

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Monkscross?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL17 postcode.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do I have to be there?

Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
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.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Monkscross?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that will not shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places

- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
