About bath repair in B75
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re frequently asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
What you’ll pay
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for B75. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour-matched on site

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How the damage happens
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes.
Comparing quotes
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Your questions about bath repair in B75
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
