Bath Re-enamelling in South Broomhill
We travel to South Broomhill for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
About our bath re-enamelling in South Broomhill
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
South Broomhill questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in South Broomhill
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- How to care for the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
