Signs you need bath repair in Potterton
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy

How we handle bath repair in Potterton
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage from a refit and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Potterton and across Aberdeen.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Potterton questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What else we do in Potterton
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why Potterton customers choose us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy
Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your AB23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Potterton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
