How we handle bath re-enamelling in Colbury
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and thin, worn enamel in places, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Colbury
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Stains that won’t shift
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What else we do in Colbury
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Colbury
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Colbury. Prices do not change with location.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Colbury?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What we cannot put right

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Colbury
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Landlord and trade work in Colbury
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
