What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Fant without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
What affects the price in Fant
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Fant get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When to call us in Fant
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Fant

Can I fix it myself?
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 often lifts.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
