A hole in your plastic bath can happen easily, often from a dropped object puncturing the surface. Surface Doctor’s acrylic bath hole repair in Herne Bay provides a budget-friendly fix to restore most damages, ensuring a seamless finish that matches your bath’s original look, avoiding the expense of swapping.
Surface Doctor can fix most holes in acrylic baths in Herne Bay, provided we can reach the underside of the affected area. For instance, a hole between the faucets is repairable if we can reach below the tub to that area. But, repairs might not be feasible in:
Bottom Damage: Older acrylic baths often have a wooden support under the base, blocking entry to the back of the hole.
Edge Damage: Wooden reinforcements under the shoulders of older tubs can restrict access, making repairs difficult.
Unsure if your bath’s hole is repairable? Remove the bath panel to check if you can access the damaged area by hand, or contact Surface Doctor at 01342 324 577. Or, email a picture of the damage, and our lead expert will assess the viability of acrylic bath hole repair in Herne Bay.
If your plastic tub is a standard length (e.g., 1700mm) and can be removed without disturbing surroundings, especially if you’re handy with plumbing, replacing the bath may be more affordable. A new tub includes a warranty and a fresh look. But, if removal requires significant surface removal or costly reinstallation, acrylic bath hole repair in Herne Bay is a cost-effective solution, saving time and hassle in your Herne Bay space.

Herne Bay Bath Re-Enamelling Services
Should your metal bath has a chip in its surface but is mostly in sound condition, Surface Doctor's cast iron bath chip repair in Kent provides a specific solution to fix the damage, preserving a smooth appearance that keeps your bathtub's aesthetic without the cost for complete resurfacing.
Cast iron baths are strong, but their enamel, a layer of coloured glass fused to the substrate, can chip from knocks like falling tiles, moving damage, or too tightened faucets, overflows, or drains. While enamel is resilient and tolerates wear, a sharp blow can damage the attachment with the cast iron, causing a chip. Surface Doctor's cast iron bath chip repair in Kent mends these problems inexpensively, reviving the bath's finish with no need for the complexity of replacing the whole bath.
For instance, we fixed a blemished cast iron bath in Kent, perfectly matching the repair to the current surface, making the chip almost indiscernible and keeping the tub's traditional aesthetic.
Our cast iron bath chip repair in Kent is ideal for tubs in good condition, with minimal chips and no significant tarnishing, unevenness, or cleaning problems. If the bathtub's enamel is discoloured, coarse, or tough to clean, a local fix might become apparent as the surrounding enamel worsens or changes tone over use. In such cases, we suggest our full bath resurfacing in Kent to tackle both the damage and overall enamel issues for a even result.
Uncertain if a chip repair is appropriate for your tub? Call Surface Doctor now or use our online quote request to talk about your Kent bathtub's status with our experts.

Surface Doctor is expert in resurfacing original Victorian cast-iron and antique roll-top baths, which are more luxurious than contemporary acrylic tubs but often show aging. We’ve restored baths left outside for decades, reviving their beauty with a shiny finish that elevates any elegant bathroom in Herne Bay.
Vintage tubs may have unique characteristics like waves, raised areas, dips, or tiny holes from the initial coating method. These are their unique appeal and are highlighted after recoating due to the reflective gloss finish. Our technicians in Herne Bay address as many imperfections as possible without weakening adhesion, though some may stay as original characteristics, notably on the tub’s edges.
