Bath re-enamelling in Cock Alley, done in place
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about lots of chips and rust spots and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Cock Alley
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that won’t shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended

What else we do in Cock Alley
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that is rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Cock Alley. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry

Repairing versus replacing in Cock Alley
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Cock Alley
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it
Read our prices page and bath cost comparison.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Different materials, different repairs
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 what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
