Bath repair at your home in Almondsbury

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and a chipped rim or side, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Almondsbury. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace in Almondsbury?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Almondsbury

  • Fixed prices from your photos

Your questions about bath repair in Almondsbury

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you come to Almondsbury?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Almondsbury. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Almondsbury

  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Almondsbury, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Common problems we fix in Almondsbury

Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
