How we handle bath repair in Prees
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 repaired in place, normally in one visit. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Your questions about bath repair in Prees
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Signs you need bath repair in Prees
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What affects the price in Prees
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Prees. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Prees. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Repair or replace in Prees?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
