Repairing versus replacing in White Roding
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Common questions in White Roding
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
