Bath chip & crack repair in Preston, Gloucestershire
Bath repair in Preston without the cost of replacing. Get a fixed price from your photos, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Bath repair in Preston without replacing anything
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and holes from dropped items, we can help, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Preston
If you manage property in Preston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Preston questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Preston?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your GL7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
