FAQs for Swanbourne
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Swanbourne
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What else we do in Swanbourne
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
