DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Totmonslow
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Totmonslow
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Stains that will not shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

Landlord and trade work in Totmonslow
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Totmonslow: your questions answered
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Totmonslow and the rest of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

What else we do in Totmonslow
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- 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, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Totmonslow
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
