Bath re-enamelling in Swavesey, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can usually put it right.
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
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Swavesey: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Swavesey?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CB24 postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Swavesey
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Wear marks under the taps

Repairing versus replacing in Swavesey

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swavesey
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
