How we handle bath repair in Sutton Scotney
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Sutton Scotney questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sutton Scotney
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Sutton Scotney. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common problems we fix in Sutton Scotney
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
