Acrylic bathtubs are formed from lightweight, vacuum-molded acrylic sheets. This makes them a popular choice due to their affordability, light weight, and variety of designs. The only downside is they are not as strong as metal baths, and so they are more likely to suffer damage such as chips, scratches, cracks, and dents. When this happens, you don't need to worry, as we can repair your acrylic bath at a fraction of the price of replacing it! Thanks to our experienced specialists, your acrylic bath will look as good as new after repair. The repair will only take about 1-2 hours and then you'll be able to use your bath the very next day! All of our repairs are guaranteed for 12 months for your peace of mind. Acrylic bath surfaces can degrade from excessive use of strong cleaning products like bleach and Cif. They actually remove the shiny layer on the surface of your bath and you'll find that your bath will become hard to clean as dirt will stick to the surface. A simple resurfacing process can bring your bath back to life, eliminating surface wear. Our technicians will apply a new surface to the whole of your bath, making your bath look brand new again! To ensure durability, our expert will recommend the best cleaning products to protect your new surface. Contact us now for professional guidance on restoring your acrylic bath!

Please clear the bathroom of towels, bath robes, toiletries, and personal items before your appointment. This helps the technician work cleanly and efficiently. For full resurfacing, it also protects your belongings from spray overspray.
Use a standard non-abrasive spray cleaner. Avoid bleach, Cif, and abrasive pads — these dull the surface over time. Your technician will leave you with full aftercare advice after the repair is complete.
Real repairs completed by your local Surface Doctor technician. Every job is different — here are some recent examples.
| Damage | Large chip on bath rim, approx 3cm, exposing base material |
| Material | Acrylic |
| Time taken | 90 minutes |
| Location | Altrincham, WA14 |
| Date | March 2026 |
The customer had knocked a heavy shampoo bottle onto the bath rim, leaving a chip that exposed the white base material underneath. The repair required colour-matching to the bath's slightly off-white shade — achieved using our professional tinting kit. The repair was completed in a single visit and is invisible at normal viewing distance.
"I honestly can't see where the chip was. The technician was brilliant — on time, tidy, and done in under two hours. Saved me hundreds versus a new bath."
| Damage | Heavy surface wear, dull finish, dirt sticking to surface |
| Material | Acrylic |
| Time taken | 2 hours |
| Location | Hale, WA15 |
| Date | February 2026 |
Years of cleaning with abrasive products had dulled the bath surface and made it rough to the touch — dirt was sticking and the bath looked permanently dirty even after cleaning. A full resurfacing restored the smooth, glossy finish and a new protective enamel coat was applied across the entire bath. Ready to use the following morning.
"The resurfacing service transformed it completely — it looks brand new, super glossy, and effortless to clean. So glad I chose this instead of replacing it!"
| Damage | Hairline crack running 8cm along base of bath |
| Material | Acrylic |
| Time taken | 2 hours |
| Location | Bowdon, WA14 |
| Date | January 2026 |
A tenant had reported a crack developing in the base of the bath — left unrepaired this would eventually cause leaking. The crack was filled with specialist flexible compound, bonded, and colour-matched. The landlord was particularly pleased as the repair avoided a costly bath replacement and kept the tenants happy with minimal disruption.
"Sorted within a day of calling. The repair is completely invisible and the price was very fair. Will be using Surface Doctor for all our rental properties."
Replacing a bath creates more waste and uses far more resources than repairing it. Here's why choosing Surface Doctor is also the more sustainable option.
A full bath replacement means your old bath ends up in landfill. A repair keeps it in use for years longer — no skip, no disposal costs.
Manufacturing a new bath, transporting it, and fitting it carries a significant carbon cost. Repairing your existing bath avoids all of that.
Bath replacement often damages surrounding tiles and walls. A repair leaves your bathroom intact — less disruption, less waste, less cost.
Every repair carried out by Surface Doctor Altrincham is backed by a full 12-month written guarantee. Here is exactly what that means for you.
How to claim: If you believe your repair has failed within the guarantee period, call us on 0161 931 9118 and we will arrange for your technician to inspect the repair and rectify it at no charge, subject to the conditions above. Your technician will also leave you with a written aftercare guide to help protect the repair and get the most from your guarantee.

We're putting together a short video showing a real repair from start to finish. In the meantime, call us to discuss your repair — we're happy to explain the process in detail.
Did you ever wonder how many shades of white there are? There are numerous variations of white in bathroom fixtures! Proper colour matching ensures that the repaired area seamlessly blends with the rest of your bath. Achieving an invisible repair requires specialized skills that our technicians have perfected. Because bath surfaces can fade or change over time, an exact colour match requires expert mixing. We carefully tint and adjust the enamel colour to achieve an exact match with your bath.
We source the highest quality materials to ensure a long-lasting and professional-grade repair. One issue with DIY repair kits is that they lack proper colour-matching options, resulting in noticeable repairs. Using a DIY kit may provide a temporary fix, but it often won’t hold up over time. Feel free to attempt a DIY fix, but if it doesn’t last, we’re ready to provide a professional solution.
Our repair process starts with our technician applying a professional-grade filler and bonder to the damaged area. We use professional spray techniques to apply the colour-matched enamel for an invisible repair. Through expert colour matching by eye, our technician ensures a seamless repair that blends perfectly.
Every repair is customized based on the damage, ensuring a flawless restoration. We complete repairs in one session, so you can get back to using your bath quickly. Our technicians will assess the damage initially from pictures you send to us, so they know what to expect.
1. A professional assessment of your bath’s damage is done before providing a transparent quote.
2. After you approve the quote, our technician will arrive at your location and prepare for the repair. 3. Using specialized fillers, we restore the bath’s surface, ensuring it’s completely smooth before refinishing. 4. We use a high-quality bonding agent to secure the repair and enhance durability. 5. We expertly mix and apply a custom-matched enamel coat to ensure a perfect colour blend. 6. To ensure durability, avoid using the bath for a full 24 hours while the repair cures. 7. With minimal effort, your bath is now as good as new, saving you time and money!
The time required for repair depends on the extent of the damage, but most acrylic bath repairs take 1-2 hours. Our repair service is a fast, cost-effective alternative to a complete bath replacement.
Our mission is to restore your bath to perfection so the repair is virtually invisible. Your experience matters to us—we ensure a smooth process and complete customer satisfaction.
We insist on using premium materials to ensure long-lasting and high-quality bath repairs. Poor-quality repairs don’t stand the test of time, and companies that use cheap materials don’t last. Our satisfied clients continue to recommend us because of our dedication to excellence. Our repairs will leave your bath looking brand new—you’ll love the results!
We've had some customers ask why they can't just use a cheap DIY Repair Kit for their bath, and we always say that they can try it if they want, but we'll be ready to help when they realise it hasn't worked. The materials these kits come with are very poor quality so they just won't last and the tinters they give will be very hard to colour match your repair to your bath. Reviews don’t lie—DIY bath repair kits frequently result in failed repairs and yellowing surfaces. Choose Surface Doctor Altrincham for a long-lasting, high-quality repair that truly restores your bath. Professional repairs exist for a reason—because DIY solutions just don’t cut it!
