Bath repair at your home in G46
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why choose Surface Doctor
- Work done at your home or business

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in G46 as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
G46 questions
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
