Your questions about bath repair in Finchfield
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Bath repair in Finchfield without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and a cracked acrylic bath.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Finchfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
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.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your WV3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Finchfield
Repair or replace in Finchfield?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Finchfield
- Colour-matched on site

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Finchfield
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
