What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Preston questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How invisible is a bath 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.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Do you need bath repair in Preston?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Preston
Letting agents often send us photos 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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
