Bath repair across CB23: what to expect
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are rusty patches near the plughole and holes from dropped items.
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour-matched on site
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Landlord and trade work in CB23
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What affects the price in CB23
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in CB23
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
FAQs for CB23
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in CB23.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
