Bath re-enamelling for Monkton homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Monkton

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Monkton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Monkton

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Monkton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Monkton

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Monkton

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 usually cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Monkton questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
