Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Preston-on-Tees. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

What we are called out for in Preston-on-Tees
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Common reasons people in Preston-on-Tees contact us are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Comparing quotes
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair

How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
