How we handle bath re-enamelling in Swalcliffe
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

FAQs for Swalcliffe
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What else we do in Swalcliffe
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Most jobs done in one visit
Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
When to call us in Swalcliffe
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
