Bath re-enamelling in Swanton without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Swanton
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything
- Colour-matched on site

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Swanton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
FAQs for Swanton

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Swanton
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
