Common questions in Foulford
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you work in Foulford?
We do. We send a technician to Foulford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What else we do in Foulford
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Repair or replace in Foulford?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Foulford
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Landlord and trade work in Foulford
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
