Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Common questions in Fearnville
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
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.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Fearnville?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LS8 postcode.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Common problems we fix in Fearnville
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repair or replace in Fearnville?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Fearnville

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically 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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
