About bath repair in WV5
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chipped rim or side.
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, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
What you’ll pay
Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor
- One visit for most repairs
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including WV5. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairing versus replacing
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Signs you need bath repair
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions from WV5
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?
All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
