How we handle bath re-enamelling in Swingleton Green

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and lots of chips and rust spots, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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 pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairs by material

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

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Swingleton Green. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Swingleton Green: your questions answered

Do you cover Swingleton Green?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Swingleton Green for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your IP7 postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

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

What we work on

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