How bath repair works in HX6
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are chips along the edge of the bath and damage beneath the taps.
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why choose Surface Doctor
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Around Sowerby Bridge
We visit homes around Ryburn Valley High School, Sacred Heart Catholic Voluntary Academy and Church of St George, among other places. The nearest railway station is Sowerby Bridge station, roughly 0.6 miles east. Nearby you will also find Warley Museum (1 mile north) and Royal Halifax Infirmary (2.3 miles east). Open spaces near Sowerby Bridge include Stoodley Pike.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
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.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
