Bath Re-enamelling for Linthouse homes
Damaged bath in Linthouse? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
About our bath re-enamelling in Linthouse
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Linthouse: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Linthouse?
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Linthouse. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
