How we handle bath re-enamelling in Highstreet
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Highstreet. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

The process

- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Highstreet: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
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 rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Landlord and trade work in Highstreet
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Highstreet?

The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
