About our bath re-enamelling in Northmoor
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What affects the price in Northmoor
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What we are called out for in Northmoor
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Northmoor
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
