For bath enamel repair Midhurst residents have trusted Surface Doctor for over 30 years, making us the area's most experienced restoration specialists. From Georgian townhouses along North Street to converted barns in the surrounding South Downs villages, we've repaired thousands of baths across this historic market town. Our comprehensive 12 months warranty provides complete peace of mind - something particularly valued by Midhurst's discerning homeowners who appreciate quality workmanship that lasts.
Midhurst's unique position as a gateway to the South Downs National Park attracts residents who value preservation over replacement. The town contains over 100 listed buildings, many featuring original cast iron baths that require specialist enamel repair techniques. Whether you're maintaining a period property near Cowdray Park or updating a modern home in one of the newer developments off Petersfield Road, our three decades of experience ensures exceptional results every time.
Midhurst's abundance of Georgian and Victorian properties presents specific bath enamel challenges. Cast iron baths in these period homes often suffer from enamel crazing - fine spider-web cracks that develop over decades. The heavy weight of these traditional baths can cause stress fractures around the base, particularly in properties with older wooden floor joists common in North Street's historic buildings.
Original roll-top baths found in many Midhurst manor houses frequently develop chips around the rim where taps have been replaced multiple times over the years. The enamel in these heritage baths is often thicker than modern equivalents, requiring specialist techniques to blend repairs invisibly. Our 30 years' experience includes working on baths dating back to the 1890s, understanding how original manufacturing methods affect repair approaches.
Converted properties throughout the GU29 area, particularly former agricultural buildings in villages like Easebourne and Woolbeding, often contain salvaged period baths requiring complete restoration. These baths may have spent years in storage, developing rust spots beneath the enamel that need addressing before surface repair. We use proven methods developed over three decades to restore these characterful fixtures while preserving their authentic appeal.
Modern homes in developments like Holmbush Estate face different challenges - primarily chip damage from dropped items and wear patterns from daily use. These contemporary baths use thinner enamel coatings that require precise colour matching. Our extensive experience means we carry samples from all major manufacturers, ensuring perfect matches first time.
Our bath enamel repair Midhurst service extends throughout the South Downs region. We regularly work in Easebourne, just across the A272, where many converted cottages contain original baths requiring specialist care. Woolbeding's historic properties near the National Trust gardens often feature unique bath designs that benefit from our restoration expertise rather than replacement.
The villages of Stedham, Heyshott, and Cocking all fall within our standard service area, with no additional travel charges. These rural locations particularly value our repair service as bath replacement would involve complex logistics navigating narrow lanes and limited access. West Lavington and Bepton residents appreciate our ability to complete most repairs in a single visit, minimising disruption to countryside living.
We also cover Lodsworth, Graffham, and Selham - picturesque villages where many properties are listed, making bath preservation essential. Our 12 months warranty applies equally whether you're in central Midhurst or these outlying communities. Fernhurst and Lurgashall to the north are included in our regular rounds, ensuring prompt service throughout the GU29 and GU27 postcode areas.
Every bath enamel repair begins with thorough assessment using techniques refined over our 30 years in business. We identify not just visible damage but underlying issues that could affect repair longevity. Period baths common in Midhurst require checking for stable rust beneath the enamel, while modern baths need inspection for stress fractures that might indicate installation problems.
Preparation is crucial for lasting repairs. We use specialist cleaning compounds that remove all contamination without damaging surrounding enamel. This stage often reveals the bath's original colour - important in period properties where years of limescale may have altered appearance. Our experience means we know exactly which preparation methods suit different bath ages and materials.
Chip repairs utilise colour-matched compounds applied in thin layers, building up to the exact surface level. For cast iron baths prevalent in Midhurst's older properties, we use materials specifically formulated to match the thermal expansion properties of the original enamel. This prevents future cracking - a common problem with inferior repairs.
Crack repair requires different approaches depending on whether the damage is surface crazing or structural. Surface cracks are sealed and reinforced, while deeper damage may need flexible compounds that accommodate natural bath movement. Our 30 years' experience helps identify which technique suits each situation, ensuring repairs covered by our 12 months warranty.
Complete bath resurfacing transforms worn enamel without replacement disruption. We apply professional-grade coatings that exceed original specifications, providing superior durability. This process works particularly well for baths in Midhurst's rental properties, where regular tenant changes create heavy wear patterns.
Final finishing determines repair invisibility. We hand-polish repairs to match surrounding gloss levels exactly - crucial for high-end properties around Cowdray Park where bathroom aesthetics are paramount. Each repair is inspected under different lighting conditions to ensure perfection before our 12 months warranty begins.
Our three decades of experience have taught us that quality assurance extends beyond the repair itself. We test repaired areas for adhesion, checking they'll withstand normal use throughout the warranty period and beyond. Documentation includes before/after photographs and detailed repair specifications - valuable for property sales or insurance purposes.
Every completed repair includes care instructions tailored to your specific bath type and repair. Period bath owners receive guidance on maintaining cast iron, while modern bath owners learn which cleaning products preserve repair longevity. This comprehensive approach explains why most repairs last well beyond our 12 months warranty period.
A Grade II listed property near the Market Square had an original 1890s cast iron bath with extensive enamel crazing and three chips around the overflow. The owners wanted preservation rather than replacement to maintain period character. We spent a day carefully restoring the enamel using traditional techniques perfected over our 30 years in business. The repair cost £425 versus £4,000+ for a comparable period replacement, and the invisible restoration is protected by our 12 months warranty. The bath now looks magnificent while retaining its authentic heritage.
A beautifully converted barn had a salvaged Victorian bath installed during renovation, but transport damage left several deep chips. The unique sage green colour seemed impossible to match. Using our extensive colour library built over 30 years, we achieved a perfect match. The repair took four hours including full resurfacing of worn areas, costing £385. The alternative was sourcing another period bath at considerable expense and delay. Our 12 months warranty gave the owners confidence in choosing repair over replacement.
A five-year-old property suffered bath damage when bathroom tiles were replaced. Multiple chips along the bath edge looked unsightly in the otherwise pristine bathroom. We completed invisible repairs to six separate chips in just two hours, colour-matching the modern white perfectly. At £195 total cost, this saved the homeowner from a £2,000 replacement that would have meant retiling. The repair is guaranteed for 12 months but our experience shows such repairs typically last the lifetime of the bath.

Absolutely. With Midhurst containing over 100 listed buildings, we have extensive experience working within conservation requirements. Bath enamel repair is considered maintenance rather than alteration, so rarely requires listed building consent. Our 30 years' experience includes restoring baths in Grade I and II* properties throughout the South Downs. We understand the importance of preserving original features and use techniques sympathetic to period craftsmanship. Our repairs maintain authenticity while providing modern durability backed by our 12 months warranty.
While we provide a 12 months warranty as standard, our 30 years of experience shows repairs typically last much longer. Chip repairs in normal domestic use often remain perfect for 10+ years. Full resurfacing can extend bath life by 15-20 years. We've revisited properties years later for different work and found our original repairs still pristine. The key is proper preparation and using quality materials - something we've perfected over three decades. Period bath repairs in Midhurst properties from the early 2000s still look excellent today.
Yes, our expertise extends from period to ultra-modern baths. Many newer Midhurst properties feature designer baths with special finishes - stone-effect, metallic, or custom colours. Our 30 years in the industry means we've seen every innovation and know how to repair them all. We maintain relationships with manufacturers to ensure perfect colour matching. Modern baths often use different materials requiring adapted techniques - knowledge gained through continuous professional development throughout our three decades of service.
Cast iron baths are our speciality, particularly important given Midhurst's wealth of period properties. These baths, some over 100 years old, were built to last but their enamel needs expert care. We understand how original enamel differs from modern coatings - it's typically thicker but more brittle. Our repair techniques accommodate these characteristics. We also address common cast iron issues like rust bleeding through enamel. With proper repair backed by our 12 months warranty, these heritage baths can serve generations more.
For most Midhurst properties, repair offers significant advantages. Cost savings of 80-85% are immediate, but consider also: no disposal of old bath, no risk of tile or floor damage, no plumbing modifications, and work completed in hours not days. Period properties particularly benefit as original baths are often superior quality to modern replacements. Environmental considerations matter too - repair is the sustainable choice. Our 30 years' experience and 12 months warranty mean you're choosing proven reliability over disruption.
Over 30 years, we've built an extensive colour matching system covering virtually every bath colour produced. From Midhurst's period properties with heritage colours to modern homes with designer shades, we achieve perfect matches. We use spectroscopic colour analysis when needed, ensuring repairs blend invisibly. Unusual colours like the champagnes, mochas, and burgundies popular in 1970s-80s Midhurst homes are no problem. Even custom colours can be matched. This expertise, refined over three decades, ensures your repair will be undetectable.
