Bath re-enamelling in Swadlincote without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Rooms protected and left tidy

FAQs for Swadlincote
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
