Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit

How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Walshaw, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Walshaw
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and several chips and rust patches, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Landlord and trade work in Walshaw
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common problems we fix in Walshaw
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Walshaw
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Walshaw
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What we can’t put right

- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
