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. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

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

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Plemstall questions

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Do you cover Plemstall?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Plemstall and the rest of Cheshire West and Chester. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Respect the curing time we give you

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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