Book bath re-enamelling in Lintmill

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

Bath re-enamelling in Lintmill, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lintmill as everywhere else we work.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Lintmill questions

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Lintmill is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lintmill

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

When to call us in Lintmill

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Common reasons people in Lintmill contact us are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
