Bath re-enamelling at your home in Mitnell
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are often asked to fix several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Mitnell. The price comes down to:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mitnell use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Mitnell: your questions answered
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When to call us in Mitnell
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
Repair or replace in Mitnell?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

- Same prices wherever you are
- Usually one visit, start to finish
