Our bath repair service in SY16
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic.
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why choose Surface Doctor

Around Y Drenewydd
We visit homes around Newtown High School, Newtown Free Library and Newtown English Congregational Church and the streets around them. Nearby too are The Buck Inn (less than half a mile north) and Hafren C.P. Junior School (less than half a mile south-west). There is a railway station in Y Drenewydd itself: Newtown (Powys) station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Newtown Central (0.7 miles south-west) and W H Smith Museum (within half a mile north-east). The countryside around Y Drenewydd includes Trehafren.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in SY16 as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
What we are called out for in SY16
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
SY16: your questions answered
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
