How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
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 your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. In an older home in a village like Rookley Green, replacing a bath can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
