Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gleadless Valley
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Gleadless Valley
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gleadless Valley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Gleadless Valley
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour-matched on site
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
