DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Preston on the Hill
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched

Questions from Preston on the Hill
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Preston on the Hill, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
