What we do, step by step

- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Advice
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Swardeston
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Swardeston questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Swardeston?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Swardeston
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coloured bath you want in white

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
