Bath re-enamelling in Linfitts without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Linfitts questions
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Linfitts
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What we’re called out for in Linfitts
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Look out for these signs:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
