Repair or replace: which is better?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in South Burlingham
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in South Burlingham
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Norfolk.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you come to South Burlingham?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to South Burlingham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for South Burlingham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
