Bath re-enamelling for Preston on Wye homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Preston on Wye

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Preston on Wye. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

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’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Preston on Wye

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Herefordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
