Areas we cover
Our bath repair service in IP28
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place. We are frequently asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and cracks in an acrylic bath, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
What you will pay
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally 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
- No need to remove anything
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for IP28. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in IP28
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Signs you need bath repair
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
IP28: your questions answered
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
