Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Bath repair in Potton without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips along the edge of the bath and a chip where the taps sit.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Potton. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Potton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What else we do in Potton
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Potton

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Common questions in Potton
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do you come to Potton?
We do. Technicians travel to Potton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Central Bedfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
