Bath re-enamelling in Nappa Scar, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and thin, worn enamel in places, we can usually put it right.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we are called out for in Nappa Scar

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Nappa Scar. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Nappa Scar, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Nappa Scar

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
