Bath re-enamelling in Swinford, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swinford use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Swinford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What affects the price in Swinford
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Swinford. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
