Bath re-enamelling at your home in Swift's Green

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Swift's Green questions

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Swift's Green?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Swift's Green

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

For anyone letting property in or around Swift's Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Swift's Green and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Why Swift's Green clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
