Bath repair across TN24: what to expect
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and a chipped rim or side, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- 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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Pricing in TN24
Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Common problems we fix in TN24
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
TN24 questions
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TN24 postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
