About our bath re-enamelling in Swannington
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Swannington
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
When to call us in Swannington
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
