How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sandringham
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Sandringham
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Sandringham
- Work done at your home or business
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

FAQs for Sandringham
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
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. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Sandringham. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
