Repairing versus replacing in Townsend

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Townsend questions

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

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

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you come to Townsend?

We do. Technicians travel to Townsend from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Townsend?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Townsend

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
