Bath chip & crack repair in Wyton, Cambridgeshire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths for homes and businesses in Wyton and across Cambridgeshire. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Repairs from £95
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Bath repair in Wyton, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and a cracked acrylic bath, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Signs you need bath repair in Wyton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What affects the price in Wyton
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wyton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PE28 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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 Wyton

- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Your questions about bath repair in Wyton
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
