About bath repair in KA11
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and a kit repair that didn’t last.
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why choose Surface Doctor
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including KA11. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
KA11: your questions answered
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
