Bath repair in Walgherton, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and chips under the taps, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Walgherton
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Walgherton
- A fixed quote before booking
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Typically one visit, start to finish
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Common problems we fix in Walgherton
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in Walgherton
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How much does bath repair cost in Walgherton?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CW5 postcode.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Walgherton.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
