Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Swinscoe, Derbyshire
Bath re-enamelling across Swinscoe and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Bath re-enamelling in Swinscoe, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coloured bath you want in white.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

FAQs for Swinscoe
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Swinscoe included. Travel is included in the price.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Swinscoe
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
Most customers in Swinscoe get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
