Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Bexleyheath, Greater London
Damaged bath in Bexleyheath? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that will not shift
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
About our bath re-enamelling in Bexleyheath
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Bexleyheath
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Bexleyheath?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Repairing versus replacing in Bexleyheath
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Bexleyheath
- Everything repaired in place
- Same prices wherever you are
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, 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 prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
