How we handle bath re-enamelling in Mitchell
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mitchell as everywhere else we work.

Mitchell questions
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Mitchell get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Repair or replace in Mitchell?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
For a price in Mitchell, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
