Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Bath re-enamelling in Woolpit, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woolpit

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.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 typically cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Woolpit

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Never use suction bath mats

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
