Bath re-enamelling in Swainby without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and stains that won’t shift.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
FAQs for Swainby

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Repair or replace in Swainby?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area

When to call us in Swainby
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
