How we handle bath re-enamelling in Preston
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can usually put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Repairs by material
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 relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Preston
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you cover Preston?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Preston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
