Lindfield questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Lindfield?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your RH16 postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Bath repair at your home in Lindfield
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the following day. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and a cracked acrylic bath, we can typically put it right, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, 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, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Lindfield
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Signs you need bath repair in Lindfield
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 enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Lindfield
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lindfield. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Lindfield
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before you book

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
