About our bath re-enamelling in Sywell
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and worn patches where water runs and sits.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Sywell?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole

FAQs for Sywell

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Which areas do you work in?

How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Repairing versus replacing in Sywell
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 renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sywell use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
