What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Towersey
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No extra charge for your area
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
Read our prices page or bath cost comparison.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Towersey
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 regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Towersey
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Signs you need bath repair in Towersey
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
