How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stowey
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Stowey
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Stowey. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stowey. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Stowey
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for any of the following:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- How to look after the finish
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Stowey
- A fixed quote before you book
- No extra charge for your area
- No need to remove anything
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
