Bath re-enamelling at your home in Monkton
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Monkton
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Monkton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Monkton. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Monkton
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Look out for these signs:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
