Our bath repair service in BB7
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
What you’ll pay
Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A fixed quote before booking
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Local landmarks in Clitheroe
In Clitheroe, that means homes near Brown Cow Public House, St James' Church of England Primary School and Church of St James. Clitheroe has its own railway station: Clitheroe station. A little further out are Clitheroe Community Hospital (1.6 miles north-east) and Clitheroe Castle (less than half a mile north). Not far away are Browsholme Tarn and Salthill Quarry.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often 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.
For anyone letting property in or around BB7, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Different materials, different repairs
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 what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common questions in BB7
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
