Bath repair at your home in SO43
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
What you’ll pay
Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why choose Surface Doctor
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Most jobs done in one visit
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Local landmarks in Lyndhurst
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to St Michael and All Angels CofE Infant School, Church of Our Lady and St Edward and Fox And Hounds Public House and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Ashurst New Forest station, roughly 2.4 miles north-east. Well-known places in the area include Ashurst Hospital (2.6 miles north-east) and National Dairy Museum (3.4 miles north-east). The countryside around Lyndhurst includes Copythorne Common.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
What we are called out for in SO43
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What affects the price in SO43
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in SO43, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlord and trade work in SO43
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Common questions in SO43
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you work in SO43?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to SO43 from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
