Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kent Street
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and stains that won’t shift.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kent Street?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
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.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

What affects the price in Kent Street
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Kent Street, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Kent Street
