Bath re-enamelling for Toft Monks homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Toft Monks

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Toft Monks

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Toft Monks, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Toft Monks questions

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

Across the UK, so Toft Monks is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Toft Monks?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
