Bath re-enamelling at your home in Highfield
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and chips and rust in more than one place.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What else we do in Highfield
Highfield questions
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
All of Southampton, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Highfield
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled

What affects the price in Highfield
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Highfield
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Southampton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
