Repairing versus replacing in Keyworth
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Keyworth
- One visit for most repairs
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Bath re-enamelling in Keyworth, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Keyworth
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
What we are called out for in Keyworth
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to look after the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Keyworth: your questions answered
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Keyworth?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
