Bath Re-enamelling for Swepstone homes
Problem with your bath in Swepstone? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Swepstone
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a full day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Swepstone
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Never use suction bath mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Swepstone?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
