About our bath re-enamelling in Higham
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you are dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Higham and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Higham. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Higham questions
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
We cover the whole UK, including Higham and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Higham?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CO7 postcode.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are there extra charges for Higham?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Higham
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
