Bath chip & crack repair in Puttenham, Surrey
Our repair technicians come to Puttenham for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
How we handle bath repair in Puttenham
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. 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. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are rust by the waste and overflow and chips along the edge of the bath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your GU3 postcode.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

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.

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
For a price in Puttenham, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
What affects the price in Puttenham
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
When to call us in Puttenham
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
