The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Avon Castle

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Avon Castle: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Common problems we fix in Avon Castle

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
