Trusted bath re-enamelling in Higham

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Higham

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Higham. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Higham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Why repair rather than replace?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

When to call us in Higham

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Higham

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
