About bath repair in S1
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are rusty patches near the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath.
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
What it costs in S1
Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repair or replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.

What affects the price in S1
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for S1. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
If you’re in S1 and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in S1 use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Common problems we fix in S1
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Look out for these signs:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Common questions in S1
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How much does bath repair cost in S1?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your S1 postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
