About our bath re-enamelling in Lower Swanwick

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Lower Swanwick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Swanwick. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lower Swanwick

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Lower Swanwick is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
