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. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- 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.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repairing versus replacing in Storthes Hall
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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 Storthes Hall
- No need to remove anything
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What affects the price in Storthes Hall
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Signs you need bath repair in Storthes Hall
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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
Common questions in Storthes Hall
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you come to Storthes Hall?
We do. We send a technician to Storthes Hall for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
