Bath repair at your home in Crane Moor
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about impact holes in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Signs you need bath repair in Crane Moor
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not 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.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Crane Moor questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work in Crane Moor?
We do. We send a technician to Crane Moor for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Crane Moor included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Crane Moor
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
