Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hyde End

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you cover the whole of West Berkshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Hyde End included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Advice

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Hyde End

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
