Bath Re-enamelling in Highbury
Our technicians come to Highbury for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Stains that won’t shift
- Several chips and rust patches
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
About our bath re-enamelling in Highbury
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Highbury
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you work in Highbury?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Highbury for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Common problems we fix in Highbury
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Highbury. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Highbury. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
