Bath repair at your home in Quidhampton
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. 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’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Quidhampton and across Hampshire.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
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.
What affects the price in Quidhampton
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Quidhampton
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs

What else we do in Quidhampton
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Common problems we fix in Quidhampton
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Questions from Quidhampton
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- 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
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
