Bath re-enamelling at your home in Swinnow
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and staining under the taps and around the waste, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Swinnow. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Swinnow. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Swinnow, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Other services in Swinnow
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Swinnow questions
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Swinnow?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?

When to call us in Swinnow
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
