Bath re-enamelling in Christchurch, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can usually put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Christchurch and nearby

Christchurch sits on or near the A35 and A337, so getting to you is simple. Neighbouring places we cover include Somerford (1 mile south-east), Purewell (1 mile south-west), Burton (1 mile north-west), Stanpit (1 mile south) and Hoburne Park (1 mile east).

You’ll also find The Rising Sun Public House (0.5 miles south-west) and The Grange School (within half a mile south-west).

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairs by material
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 feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Christchurch questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
