How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Preston, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and stains that won’t shift.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Preston

- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Preston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Preston get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Preston questions
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover Preston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Preston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Gloucestershire.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
