About bath repair in BN18
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage beneath the taps.
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
What you will pay
Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why choose Surface Doctor
- A fixed quote before booking
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in BN18
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
BN18 questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, BN18 included. Travel is included in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across West Sussex.
