Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Flagg. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

FAQs for Flagg

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Flagg?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SK17 postcode.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Flagg and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you come to Flagg?

We do. We send a technician to Flagg for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

When to call us in Flagg

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
