Signs you need bath repair in Potters Green
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel

About our bath repair in Potters Green
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and holes from dropped items, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

What else we do in Potters Green
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Common questions in Potters Green
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
