What happens on the day

- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare

What else we do in Westmill
Landlord and trade work in Westmill
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Westmill
- Colour-matched on site
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

Westmill questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you cover Westmill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Westmill and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Westmill?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Look out for any of the following:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that is failing
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
