How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Most clients in Griffydam get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Griffydam

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Griffydam

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Common questions in Griffydam

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Griffydam?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE67 postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What affects the price in Griffydam

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Griffydam. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Griffydam. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
