Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Bath re-enamelling in Earl's Court, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
When to call us in Earl's Court
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 photo:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that is failing

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What affects the price in Earl's Court
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Earl's Court
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you come to Earl's Court?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Earl's Court and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Repair or replace in Earl's Court?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Earl's Court
- Same prices wherever you are
- Work done at your home or business
- One visit for most repairs
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
