You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

About our bath re-enamelling in Swan Valley

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and thin, worn enamel in places.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NN4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Swan Valley questions

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover Swan Valley?

We do. We send a technician to Swan Valley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are there extra charges for Swan Valley?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes most of the day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
