Questions from Highgate
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you cover Highgate?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Highgate. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Highgate
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and stains that won’t shift, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
When to call us in Highgate
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Look out for any of the following:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- One price list for the whole UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
