When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Bath re-enamelling in Hightae, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hightae and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Hightae: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do you work in Hightae?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Hightae from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Landlord and trade work in Hightae
If you manage property in Hightae, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hightae
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An old resurfacing that is failing
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
