Bath re-enamelling in Swinesherd

About our bath re-enamelling in Swinesherd

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can usually put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Swinesherd: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you come to Swinesherd?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Swinesherd from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that is rusted through

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

Materials we work on in Swinesherd

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Swinesherd. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Swinesherd customers choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WR5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swinesherd

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.
