DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Landlord and trade work in Preston
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Preston as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price

Preston: your questions answered
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Preston?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Preston.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
