Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Highgate, Walsall
Local bath re-enamelling for Highgate: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Bath re-enamelling in Highgate, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Advice
Repair or replace in Highgate?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
What else we do in Highgate
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Common questions in Highgate
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you come to Highgate?
We do. Technicians travel to Highgate from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Highgate?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
