Bath re-enamelling in Preston without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Common problems we fix in Preston
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Repair or replace in Preston?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Preston. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Landlord and trade work in Preston
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
