Bath Repair for East Wickham homes
Damaged bath in East Wickham? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in East Wickham
- One price list for the entire UK
- Most jobs done in one visit

Bath repair in East Wickham, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chipped rim or side.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in East Wickham as everywhere else we work.

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry

Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
When to call us in East Wickham

- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
