About our bath re-enamelling in Swallowbeck
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Swallowbeck as everywhere else we work.

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What affects the price in Swallowbeck
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Swallowbeck get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Swallowbeck: your questions answered
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
