About our bath re-enamelling in Swanton Abbott
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swanton Abbott
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Swanton Abbott. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

When to call us in Swanton Abbott
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for these signs:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Swanton Abbott questions
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
