Bath repair at your home in Barlby
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and a cracked acrylic bath, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlord and trade work in Barlby
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barlby use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Barlby
- Work done at your home or business
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
See our prices page and bath cost comparison.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Your questions about bath repair in Barlby
Do you come to Barlby?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Barlby. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Barlby?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For a price in Barlby, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
