People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Bath repair at your home in Puttenham
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 fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. If you’re dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chipped rim or side, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Puttenham
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
What affects the price in Puttenham
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Puttenham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
