Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • 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’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

About our bath re-enamelling in Swinbrook

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can normally put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

What we’re called out for in Swinbrook

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Swinbrook

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swinbrook as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
