Repairing versus replacing in Westby

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Westby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Westby, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Westby

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

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

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

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. 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.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths

Landlord and trade work in Westby

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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 is the part we put right.
