Trusted bath re-enamelling in Micklethwaite

Bath re-enamelling in Micklethwaite without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can usually put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

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.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Micklethwaite

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are there extra charges for Micklethwaite?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover the whole of Leeds?

We cover the whole UK, including Micklethwaite and the rest of Leeds. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

When to call us in Micklethwaite

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Common reasons people in Micklethwaite contact us are:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to look after the finish
