FAQs for Swettenham
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Swettenham
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we are called out for in Swettenham
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Common reasons people in Swettenham contact us are:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Related advice
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
