Bath re-enamelling in Great Preston without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Preston

For anyone letting property in or around Great Preston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

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.

Great Preston questions

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

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Great Preston and the rest of Leeds. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Great Preston?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. 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.

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

The process

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 work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you don’t 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.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
