Bath re-enamelling in Sutterton Dowdyke without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

What else we do in Sutterton Dowdyke
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Sutterton Dowdyke
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Sutterton Dowdyke
- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One visit for most repairs
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Questions from Sutterton Dowdyke
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Sutterton Dowdyke?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
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.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
