Need bath re-enamelling in Fyfield?

Bath re-enamelling in Fyfield without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Questions from Fyfield

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Fyfield

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Fyfield

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Fyfield

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
