About our bath re-enamelling in Gungrog
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gungrog
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Gungrog: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gungrog. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Gungrog
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
