Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stowehill
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Stowehill
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover Stowehill?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Stowehill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Stowehill. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in Stowehill
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Stowehill
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Fixed prices from your photos
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
