Bath repair in Preston on Stour

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.

How we handle bath repair in Preston on Stour

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about chips caused by builders and chips on the rim or sides.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Preston on Stour

If you manage property in Preston on Stour, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

Common problems we fix in Preston on Stour

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being 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:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

FAQs for Preston on Stour

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Are there extra charges for Preston on Stour?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
