Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wyke Regis
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. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Wyke Regis: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Repairing versus replacing in Wyke Regis
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Wyke Regis
- No extra charge for your area
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Wyke Regis?
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Common reasons people in Wyke Regis contact us are:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
