Bath re-enamelling for Highampton homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Highampton

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Highampton questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are there extra charges for Highampton?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When to call us in Highampton

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Highampton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
