Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure 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.
What we’re called out for in Swanton Novers
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

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. Only the enamel surface 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
