How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sweffling
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and staining under the taps and around the waste, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Sweffling questions
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.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do you come to Sweffling?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Sweffling and the rest of Suffolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Sweffling
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- How to look after the finish
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sweffling. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Sweffling get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
