Bath Re-enamelling in Highnam
Our technicians come to Highnam for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GL2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
About our bath re-enamelling in Highnam
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a coloured bath you want in white.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Highnam as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Common problems we fix in Highnam
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to look after the finish
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
Highnam questions
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
