Bath re-enamelling in Linton, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: 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

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Linton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Linton

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Linton

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair dripping taps early

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
