Bath Re-enamelling for Smyrton homes
Bath re-enamelling across Smyrton and nearby, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Smyrton
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are often asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and worn patches where water runs and sits, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coloured bath you want in white

Smyrton: your questions answered
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you come to Smyrton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Smyrton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Repairing versus replacing in Smyrton
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Smyrton
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour-matched on site
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Landlord and trade work in Smyrton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Smyrton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Smyrton. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
