What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Repairing versus replacing in Brooklands
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Brooklands
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SN15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Brooklands
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Common reasons people in Brooklands contact us are:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price

Brooklands questions
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
