Bath re-enamelling near Swindon

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Swindon

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Swindon and across Gloucestershire.

Repair or replace in Swindon?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Swindon

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Swindon included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Swindon

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Common reasons people in Swindon contact us are:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
