Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Bath re-enamelling in Owmby without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What affects the price in Owmby
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Owmby. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
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. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repair or replace in Owmby?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Owmby
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour-matched on site

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Owmby
If you manage property in Owmby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
