Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
About our bath re-enamelling in East End
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in East End
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes East End. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in East End and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why choose Surface Doctor in East End
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Same prices wherever you are

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
