Bath repair in Preston Candover, done in place
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 fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rusty patches near the plughole.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Questions from Preston Candover
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RG25 postcode.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RG25 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

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. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Landlords, agents and businesses in Preston Candover
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Preston Candover, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
When to call us in Preston Candover
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A year’s guarantee on all work
