Pitminster questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TA3 postcode.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What we are called out for in Pitminster
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Look out for any of the following:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repair or replace in Pitminster?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Pitminster
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour-matched on site
- No need to remove anything
- No extra charge for your area

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Pitminster. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
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.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
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 without visiting.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
