Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Langford

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Langford use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we are called out for in Upper Langford

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Upper Langford

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business

See our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Your questions about bath repair in Upper Langford

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Bath and North East Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

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 there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Upper Langford, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
