Bath repair across WF9: what to expect
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chipped rim or side.
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Cost
Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why choose Surface Doctor

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Repair or replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you.

Signs you need bath repair
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
FAQs for WF9
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
