About our bath re-enamelling in Swalecliffe
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Swalecliffe: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Swalecliffe?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
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.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
What affects the price in Swalecliffe
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: 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.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most clients in Swalecliffe get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Swalecliffe
If you manage property in Swalecliffe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
