What affects the price in Old Monkland
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Questions from Old Monkland
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that will not shift
What to look for in a quote

- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Monkland use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
