Landlord and trade work in Preston on the Hill
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Do you need bath repair in Preston on the Hill?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, 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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Preston on the Hill, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Preston on the Hill questions
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover Preston on the Hill?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Preston on the Hill. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WA4 postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Are there extra charges for Preston on the Hill?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you cover the whole of Warrington?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Preston on the Hill. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
