Bath re-enamelling in Highertown, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What else we do in Highertown
When to call us in Highertown
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Before booking anyone

- How your room will be protected

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Highertown questions
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Repair or replace in Highertown?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. 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.
