How we handle bath re-enamelling in Prestwold
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and a coating lifting around the plughole.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Prestwold as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we are called out for in Prestwold
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Clients normally contact us about:

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Prestwold
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Prestwold. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
