Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Monkwood

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Bath re-enamelling in Monkwood without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and lots of chips and rust spots, we can usually put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Monkwood

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Common problems we fix in Monkwood

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Monkwood

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Monkwood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
