How we handle bath re-enamelling in Monkton Farleigh

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. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and chips and rust in more than one place, we can generally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Monkton Farleigh

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Monkton Farleigh: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover Monkton Farleigh?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Monkton Farleigh from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Monkton Farleigh

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
