About our bath re-enamelling in Swithland
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We are frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Swithland and across Leicestershire.

When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Swithland
- Basins & shower trays

- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swithland as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Repairing versus replacing in Swithland
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Swithland. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Swithland
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
