Bath re-enamelling in Upper Swainswick without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Places near Upper Swainswick
What else we do in Upper Swainswick
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Upper Swainswick. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Upper Swainswick
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you accredited?

Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
