Bath re-enamelling in Coxford, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and thin, worn enamel in places.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Coxford
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Coxford
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Coxford: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Coxford?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you cover Coxford?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Coxford and the rest of Southampton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Coxford
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Look out for any of the following:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
