Bath chip & crack repair in Preston, North Tyneside
We travel to Preston for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Preston
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Bath repair in Preston without replacing anything
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are rusty patches near the plughole and chips on the rim or sides.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath repair in Preston
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across North Tyneside.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Preston. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
When to call us in Preston
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
