About our bath re-enamelling in Linthwaite

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can typically put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Linthwaite. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Different materials, different repairs

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 is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Linthwaite questions

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover the entire of Kirklees?

We cover the whole UK, including Linthwaite and the rest of Kirklees. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Common problems we fix in Linthwaite

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Never use suction bath mats

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Linthwaite as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
