Bath re-enamelling at your home in Prestleigh
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Related advice
Prestleigh: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Landlord and trade work in Prestleigh
If you manage property in Prestleigh, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairing versus replacing in Prestleigh
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface 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 frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
