Landlords, agents and businesses in Swine
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Swine
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Swine

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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
Swine: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Repairing versus replacing in Swine
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Swine. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
