About our bath repair in Lutterworth
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with holes from dropped items and rusty patches near the plughole, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Lutterworth questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Repair or replace in Lutterworth?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Lutterworth

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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.
