FAQs for Boarshead
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Repairing versus replacing in Boarshead
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Boarshead
- One price list for the whole UK
- A fixed quote before you book
- Work done at your home or business
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Boarshead
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Boarshead
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Boarshead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
