Repair or replace: which is better?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

About our bath re-enamelling in Crossgates
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal

Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Crossgates and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Crossgates: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Crossgates included. There is no extra charge for travel.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
