Bath re-enamelling in West Drayton, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and lots of chips and rust spots, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
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 is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from West Drayton
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
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.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
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.
What we’re called out for in West Drayton
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Repairing versus replacing in West Drayton
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add 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.
Why choose Surface Doctor in West Drayton
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to West Drayton. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
