Bath re-enamelling in Swanwick Green

FAQs for Swanwick Green

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you cover Swanwick Green?

We do. We send a technician to Swanwick Green for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Swanwick Green

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Repair or replace in Swanwick Green?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
