For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Preston as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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 typically cheaper.
Questions from Preston
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kent.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Preston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Preston get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Advice
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What else we do in Preston
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
