Bath re-enamelling in Lintzford, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and worn patches where water runs and sits, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that is rusted through

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NE39 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
