What we are called out for in Pockley
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
Bath repair in Pockley without replacing anything
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. Most baths can be used again the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Pockley: your questions answered
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you cover Pockley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pockley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Landlord and trade work in Pockley
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Pockley. 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 Pockley
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One price list for the whole UK

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
Most clients in Pockley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
