Repairing versus replacing in Boughton Monchelsea

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Boughton Monchelsea. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Boughton Monchelsea. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any details about the material

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Boughton Monchelsea, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
