How we handle bath re-enamelling in Donnybrook Quarter
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Donnybrook Quarter, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Donnybrook Quarter
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Questions from Donnybrook Quarter
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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 frequently lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Donnybrook Quarter
For anyone letting property in or around Donnybrook Quarter, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Donnybrook Quarter
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
