- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Whaddon
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Whaddon: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Wiltshire.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Whaddon and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures.
Repairing versus replacing in Whaddon
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Whaddon
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Most jobs done in one visit
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
