Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Outlands: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What we’re called out for in Outlands
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
