About our bath re-enamelling in Perry Vale
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Perry Vale
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
When to call us in Perry Vale
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
If you’re in Perry Vale and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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 you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Perry Vale
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Perry Vale
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Perry Vale as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Perry Vale, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
