Do you work in West Drayton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to West Drayton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Yes. Inside and out.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Bath re-enamelling in West Drayton 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 pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and chips and rust in more than one place.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in West Drayton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairing versus replacing in West Drayton
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in West Drayton
- Generally one visit, start to finish

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of

- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
