About our bath re-enamelling in Prescot
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Prescot
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
What affects the price in Prescot
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
Most customers in Prescot get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in Prescot
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
