How we handle bath repair in Potter Hill

We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and deep scratches in acrylic, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Potter Hill get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Signs you need bath repair in Potter Hill
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Common reasons people in Potter Hill contact us are:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Your questions about bath repair in Potter Hill
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
