About our bath repair in Potto
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and deep scratches in acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Potto: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How much does bath repair cost in Potto?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Are there extra charges for Potto?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Repair or replace in Potto?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- No extra charge for your area
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
