Our bath repair service in SY7
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips along the edge of the bath.
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Pricing in SY7
Prices start from £95. We do not add 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.
Why choose Surface Doctor
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What’s near Craven Arms
We visit homes around Stokesay Primary School, Stokesay Inn and Church of St Thomas, among other places. There is a railway station in Craven Arms itself: Craven Arms station. A little further out are Stokesay Castle (0.8 miles south) and Land of Lost Content (less than half a mile south-east). For a walk, there’s Callow Hill.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Repairing versus replacing
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Common problems we fix in SY7
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Common reasons people in SY7 contact us are:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including SY7. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in SY7, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Common questions in SY7
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
