Bath re-enamelling in Parkgate without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can usually put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Parkgate. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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 reply with a fixed price.
Common questions in Parkgate
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DG1 postcode.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Landlord and trade work in Parkgate
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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 Parkgate
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Same prices wherever you are

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Parkgate?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
