Bath re-enamelling in Lower Swell, done in place

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common problems we fix in Lower Swell

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

FAQs for Lower Swell

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

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

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Lower Swell is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  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 following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Lower Swell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
