Bath repair in Skendleby, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit, we can usually put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Your questions about bath repair in Skendleby
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get 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 price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What affects the price in Skendleby
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Skendleby. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Skendleby
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- No need to remove anything
- Colour-matched on site

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
