About our bath re-enamelling in Prestonfield
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

FAQs for Prestonfield
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
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.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Are there extra charges for Prestonfield?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
