Bath Repair for Wicklewood homes
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Wicklewood, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
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 the part we put right.
About our bath repair in Wicklewood
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and snagging damage from a refit.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Wicklewood: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you come to Wicklewood?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wicklewood for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What affects the price in Wicklewood
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Wicklewood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Wicklewood

When to call us in Wicklewood
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
- How to look after the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
