What we are called out for in Prestbury
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

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

Should you replace it?

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What else we do in Prestbury
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Prestbury. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prestbury: your questions answered
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work in Prestbury?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Prestbury. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
