Bath re-enamelling in Swarland, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and lots of chips and rust spots, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Swarland. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Swarland. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we are called out for in Swarland

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

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

Honest limits

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

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swarland

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
