Bath repair at your home in ME13
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused by builders and deep scratches in acrylic.
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Cost
Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why choose Surface Doctor
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour-matched on site
- No extra charge for your area

Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
