We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in Staden
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that will not shift
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Staden
- Fixed prices from your photos
- One visit for most repairs
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- No need to remove anything
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Staden
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Staden questions
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.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Staden and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
