Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Bath repair in Preston, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you are dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can generally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Preston and across Dorset.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Preston
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover Preston?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Preston and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
What affects the price in Preston
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Preston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DT3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Preston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we are called out for in Preston
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage beneath the taps

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
