Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Higham, Derbyshire
We travel to Higham for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Wear marks under the taps
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
About our bath re-enamelling in Higham
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Higham
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
What we are called out for in Higham
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Higham
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Repairing versus replacing in Higham
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted
Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Higham
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
