About our bath repair in Broughton
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Broughton
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Broughton
- Everything repaired in place
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we do, step by step

- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
