Our bath repair service in ST7
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
What you’ll pay
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, 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
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Generally one visit, start to finish
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Landmarks near Alsager
Our clients here include homes close to Alsager School, Alsager Highfields Community Primary School and Mere Inn and the streets around them. Alsager’s nearest station is Alsager station, about 0.5 miles south-east. Further afield, we also cover the area around Englesea Brook Chapel and Museum of Primitive Methodism (3.6 miles south-west) and Mow Cop Castle (4.1 miles east). The countryside around Alsager includes Bignall Hill and Parrot's Drumble.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around ST7, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Your questions about bath repair in ST7
How much does bath repair cost in ST7?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
