About our bath re-enamelling in Mickleover
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Mickleover. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Common questions in Mickleover
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Common problems we fix in Mickleover
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
