Bath re-enamelling in Tooting without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and stains that won’t shift.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tooting
For anyone letting property in or around Tooting, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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 Tooting

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Tooting. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Tooting
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Tooting
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
