Repairing versus replacing in Witchford

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Witchford

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Witchford questions

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Witchford use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
