Trusted bath repair in Stourpaine

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Bath repair in Stourpaine, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and scratches in the surface and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Stourpaine

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

  • Same prices wherever you are

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Do you need bath repair in Stourpaine?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stourpaine as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in Stourpaine

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How long before I can use the bath?

Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you come to Stourpaine?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stourpaine for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
