Bath chip & crack repair in Felsham, Suffolk
Problem with your bath in Felsham? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Bath repair in Felsham without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a hole punched through by something heavy and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Your questions about bath repair in Felsham
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Repairing versus replacing in Felsham
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Felsham
- Same prices wherever you are

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Do you need bath repair in Felsham?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
