Bath re-enamelling in Theddlethorpe All Saints

Bath re-enamelling in Theddlethorpe All Saints without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Theddlethorpe All Saints and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Theddlethorpe All Saints

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Theddlethorpe All Saints questions

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Theddlethorpe All Saints.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Theddlethorpe All Saints. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Theddlethorpe All Saints and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
