Common questions in Middleton-on-Sea
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
How we handle bath repair in Middleton-on-Sea
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What affects the price in Middleton-on-Sea
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Middleton-on-Sea
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Common problems we fix in Middleton-on-Sea
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Middleton-on-Sea
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Middleton-on-Sea
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Same prices wherever you are
- Usually one visit, start to finish

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
