Bath re-enamelling at your home in Mark Hall South
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Mark Hall South: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Mark Hall South
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Prices start from £350. We do not 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 Mark Hall South
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
