Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Swanpool
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Swanpool and across Lincolnshire.

Common questions in Swanpool
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Are there extra charges for Swanpool?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What else we do in Swanpool
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Swanpool
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
