What affects the price in Swerford
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Bath re-enamelling in Swerford without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We’re often asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Work for landlords and builders

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
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 over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

FAQs for Swerford
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Swerford?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your OX7 postcode.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
