Bath re-enamelling in Preston, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in Preston
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Preston. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
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.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Repairing versus replacing in Preston
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Preston questions
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Preston and the rest of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- 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 following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
