Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Childrey, Oxfordshire
Bath re-enamelling in and around Childrey: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Bath re-enamelling in Childrey without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and a coloured bath you want in white, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Childrey?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Childrey questions
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you work in Childrey?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Childrey for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace in Childrey?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Childrey. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A fixed quote before booking
