Bath Re-enamelling in Swainshill
Damaged bath in Swainshill? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Bath re-enamelling in Swainshill without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What affects the price in Swainshill
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Swainshill, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Questions from Swainshill
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. 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.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
