DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lindley
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you are dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and chips and rust in more than one place, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

FAQs for Lindley
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Lindley

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
