How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Henton
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Common reasons people in Henton contact us are:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Henton
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are there extra charges for Henton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Repairing versus replacing in Henton
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Henton

- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A fixed quote before booking

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
