Bath re-enamelling in Swaby, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Swaby?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Swaby
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LN13 postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Swaby and the rest of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swaby as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
