What your bath is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
About our bath repair in Potterhanworth
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and rust by the waste and overflow, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairing versus replacing in Potterhanworth
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Do you need bath repair in Potterhanworth?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Potterhanworth: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
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?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Potterhanworth included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
