About our bath re-enamelling in Higham

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Higham

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I book?

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What affects the price in Higham

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Higham

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Higham

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
