Trusted bath re-enamelling in Sway

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Sway clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sway

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can generally put it right.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sway

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Sway, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Sway

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do you work in Sway?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Sway. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sway. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Sway

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
