Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

FAQs for Low Risby
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
What affects the price in Low Risby
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Low Risby. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DN15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
