Questions from Coldstream
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you come to Coldstream?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Coldstream. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Coldstream. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Coldstream?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
