Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Swinton

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Swinton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Swinton

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

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Do you come to Swinton?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Swinton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Different materials, different repairs

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, with the outside refinished as well.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Swinton. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Swinton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Swinton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Swinton?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Comparing quotes

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site
