Bath re-enamelling in Prestonville without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Questions from Prestonville
Do you come to Prestonville?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Prestonville. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, 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.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
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.

Repairing versus replacing in Prestonville
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: 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.
