Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

What else we do in Alder Moor
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Alder Moor. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Alder Moor: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you come to Alder Moor?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Alder Moor and the rest of Staffordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
