Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Temple

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Temple and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Temple questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover Temple?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Temple for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in Temple

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
