How we handle bath re-enamelling in Swanwick
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Swanwick questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Swanwick. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
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. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
