Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Swillington, Leeds
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for homes and businesses in Swillington and across Leeds. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Swillington
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and a coating lifting around the plughole, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Swillington and across Leeds.

What we are called out for in Swillington
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Swillington
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.

Swillington questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you cover Swillington?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Swillington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
