Bath repair in Prestbury

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Bath repair in Prestbury, done in place

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Common problems we fix in Prestbury

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Common reasons people in Prestbury contact us are:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Prestbury

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairing versus replacing in Prestbury

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why Prestbury clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Prestbury

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

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 early repair keeps the cost down.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Prestbury. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
