Bath re-enamelling in Lyne of Skene without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and thin, worn enamel in places.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lyne of Skene as everywhere else we work.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave 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 until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Lyne of Skene questions
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for Lyne of Skene?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When to call us in Lyne of Skene
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that is rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Repairing versus replacing in Lyne of Skene
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Store bottles off the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
