Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Bath re-enamelling in Ironbridge without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coloured bath you want in white.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Telford and Wrekin.

Landlord and trade work in Ironbridge
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Telford and Wrekin and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Ironbridge
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ironbridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 photos.
When to call us in Ironbridge
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
