Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Bath re-enamelling in Stonecrouch without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Stonecrouch, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Stonecrouch questions

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
