Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

When to call us in Cowbridge with Llanblethian

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

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

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
