About our bath re-enamelling in Greetham
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Greetham
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths

- Pressed steel baths
Repairing versus replacing in Greetham
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Greetham
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are
See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Greetham: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Greetham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
