Bath re-enamelling at your home in Monreith
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are lots of chips and rust spots and wear marks under the taps.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Monreith
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

- If travel is included in the price
How it works
We turn 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 most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Can I fix it myself?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace in Monreith?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
