Bath re-enamelling in Droxford without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Droxford

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Droxford

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Droxford

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before you book

Read our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Droxford

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Droxford

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Droxford questions

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Droxford included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Are there extra charges for Droxford?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price
