Bath re-enamelling in Preston Capes without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Preston Capes
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NN11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Preston Capes
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Preston Capes. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
