About bath repair in GU10
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and scratches in the surface and a cracked acrylic bath.
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Prices in GU10
Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor
- We leave the room as we found it
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour-matched on site

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What we’re called out for in GU10
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that.
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
FAQs for GU10
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
