What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What affects the price in Preston
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Preston
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
