Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Weare

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Weare use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

What affects the price in Weare

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Weare. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Weare, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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 until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Weare, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

How to compare quotes

Weare: your questions answered

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BS26 postcode.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is there a guarantee?

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