Bath re-enamelling at your home in Drybrook
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can typically put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Drybrook
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Drybrook
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Drybrook

FAQs for Drybrook
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
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.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
