Repairing versus replacing in Crosby Ravensworth
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Crosby Ravensworth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
