About our bath re-enamelling in Trentham

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can generally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Repair or replace in Trentham?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Trentham

  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Trentham, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

FAQs for Trentham

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Trentham?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Trentham

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • 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.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
