Landlord and trade work in Radford
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Radford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Bath repair in Radford, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and a chip where the taps sit, we can typically put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Radford and across Coventry.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Get a quote
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Do you need bath repair in Radford?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally 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 Radford
- No need to remove anything
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A fixed quote before booking

Questions from Radford
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
