Bath re-enamelling at your home in Linstock
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Linstock and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Linstock?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 generally the cheaper route.
Linstock questions
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Are there extra charges for Linstock?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Linstock and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you come to Linstock?
We do. We send a technician to Linstock for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Linstock. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Most clients in Linstock get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Linstock
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
