Bath repair at your home in Bonby
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What affects the price in Bonby
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bonby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repair or replace in Bonby?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Bonby
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Fixed prices from your pictures

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Questions from Bonby
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bonby
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we’re called out for in Bonby
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
DIY kit or professional repair?
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
