What else we do in Badminton
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repair or replace in Badminton?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Badminton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Badminton
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
