Bath repair in East Preston without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Preston
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Common questions in East Preston
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for East Preston?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Related advice
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
