Bath Re-enamelling for Swaythling homes
Damaged bath in Swaythling? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Swaythling
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Swaythling questions
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you cover Swaythling?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Swaythling from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
