Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Micklethwaite
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and lots of chips and rust spots.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Micklethwaite questions
Do you work in Micklethwaite?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Micklethwaite. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are there extra charges for Micklethwaite?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Never use suction bath mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Micklethwaite. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Micklethwaite. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
