We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re often asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and damage beneath the taps, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

What else we do in Splatt
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Splatt
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One visit for most repairs

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Splatt
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What to look for in a quote

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
