How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Linmere, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Linmere questions
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Linmere
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

- Pressed steel baths
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we’re called out for in Linmere
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Other services in Linmere
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
