How we handle bath re-enamelling in Preston

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can generally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Preston: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store bottles off the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Preston?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
