Bath re-enamelling for Swineford homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Swineford

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coating lifting around the plughole and staining under the taps and around the waste.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Swineford questions

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you work in Swineford?

We do. We send a technician to Swineford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Swineford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Swineford

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Repair dripping taps early

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Swineford. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
