Bath repair in Preston, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the following day. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and impact holes in acrylic, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Preston
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Preston?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour-matched on site
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What else we do in Preston
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Your questions about bath repair in Preston
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you cover Preston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Preston and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What affects the price in Preston
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Preston. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Do you need bath repair in Preston?
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
