How we handle bath re-enamelling in Highwood
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Highwood: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you come to Highwood?
We do. Technicians travel to Highwood from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Highwood. Prices don’t change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Are there extra charges for Highwood?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Highwood?
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to look after the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace in Highwood?
