Bath re-enamelling at your home in Prees Heath
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we’re called out for in Prees Heath
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps

Repairing versus replacing in Prees Heath
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Prees Heath: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
