- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps

Bath repair in Norton Bridge, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Norton Bridge, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Norton Bridge questions
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
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.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover Norton Bridge?
We do. We send a technician to Norton Bridge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Norton Bridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Norton Bridge

- Same prices wherever you are

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
