How we handle bath re-enamelling in Preston Gubbals
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and a coating lifting around the plughole, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Preston Gubbals
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before you book

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What bath re-enamelling costs

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
