Advice
How we handle bath repair in Conington
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage beneath the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Conington

Conington questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How much does bath repair cost in Conington?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What we are called out for in Conington
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
