Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
When to call us in Surfleet
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides

Questions from Surfleet
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Surfleet and the rest of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Repair or replace in Surfleet?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. 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 Surfleet
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted

- Generally one visit, start to finish
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
