Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Aiginis

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

FAQs for Aiginis

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you come to Aiginis?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Aiginis from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Aiginis?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
