Bath re-enamelling in St Monance, done in place
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. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

What else we do in St Monance
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have chips seen to early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common questions in St Monance
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work in St Monance?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to St Monance from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
