Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Wakes Colne: your questions answered
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Wakes Colne?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What else we do in Wakes Colne
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wakes Colne
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Wakes Colne, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
