Common questions in West Monkton
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you come to West Monkton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to West Monkton and the rest of Somerset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Landlords, agents and businesses in West Monkton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Monkton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
