How we handle bath re-enamelling in Swindon

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Swindon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swindon as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When to call us in Swindon

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Common questions in Swindon

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do you cover the entire of Swindon?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Are there extra charges for Swindon?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long does re-enamelling take?

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
