How we handle bath repair in Potten End
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Common questions in Potten End
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are there extra charges for Potten End?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we’re called out for in Potten End
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
