How we handle bath repair in Potter's Green

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the following day. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and a cracked acrylic bath, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Potter's Green

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

How much does bath repair cost in Potter's Green?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Repair or replace in Potter's Green?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

When to call us in Potter's Green

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included
  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
