When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Bath repair in Godstone, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and rusty patches near the plughole, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

When to call us in Godstone
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Look out for these signs:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Godstone
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Godstone. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Other services in Godstone
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Godstone
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Questions from Godstone
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
