About our bath re-enamelling in Swainsthorpe
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coating lifting around the plughole.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Swainsthorpe
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Swainsthorpe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Swainsthorpe: your questions answered
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
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.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Swainsthorpe
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
