How we handle bath re-enamelling in Higham
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Higham and across Medway.

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.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Higham. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Higham and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Questions from Higham
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you cover Higham?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Higham and the rest of Medway. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What we’re called out for in Higham
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
