Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Bath repair in Pitcombe without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you are dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Signs you need bath repair in Pitcombe
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 will start to rust.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides

Common questions in Pitcombe
How much does bath repair cost in Pitcombe?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BA10 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Somerset.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Pitcombe and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Repairing versus replacing in Pitcombe
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Pitcombe
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Pitcombe. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work 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.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
