About our bath re-enamelling in Highsted
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Highsted
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that will not shift
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Highsted. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
FAQs for Highsted
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Repairing versus replacing in Highsted
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Highsted. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
