Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Caehopkin. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Caehopkin
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Questions from Caehopkin
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Caehopkin?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Related advice
When to call us in Caehopkin
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Landlord and trade work in Caehopkin
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Caehopkin, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What affects the price in Caehopkin
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
