Our bath repair service in SA1
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are cracks in an acrylic bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally 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
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colour-matched on site
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in SA1
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in SA1 as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in SA1, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in SA1
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
SA1: your questions answered
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How do I get a price for bath repair in SA1?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SA1 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
