Looking after it afterwards

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
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

About our bath repair in Potterton

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Potterton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Potterton

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions about bath repair in Potterton

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you cover Potterton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Potterton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work 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. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Common problems we fix in Potterton

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
