About our bath re-enamelling in Preston
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and chips and rust in more than one place, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts 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, and the outside can be refinished too.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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 generally the cheaper route.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Preston
Do you come to Preston?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Preston. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Preston.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Are there extra charges for Preston?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Preston, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour-matched on site
See our full price list or bath cost comparison.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
