About bath repair in NE4
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and rusty patches near the plughole, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
What you will pay
Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One visit for most repairs

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in NE4
For anyone letting property in or around NE4, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in NE4 use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
What affects the price in NE4
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Common questions in NE4
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
