Bath Re-enamelling for Linnyshaw homes
Bath re-enamelling in and around Linnyshaw: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Can I fix it myself?
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 usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Bath re-enamelling in Linnyshaw without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why Linnyshaw clients choose us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Same prices wherever you are
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What affects the price in Linnyshaw
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Linnyshaw questions
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
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 it’s guaranteed for a year.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
