We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

Landlord and trade work in Kinsey Heath

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kinsey Heath as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Kinsey Heath

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Kinsey Heath?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally 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 Kinsey Heath

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Signs you need bath repair in Kinsey Heath

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Holes from dropped items

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Kinsey Heath

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cheshire East, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

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.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
