About our bath re-enamelling in Christow
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
What affects the price in Christow
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Christow. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Common problems we fix in Christow
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Christow, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Usually one visit, start to finish

FAQs for Christow
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
