Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
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.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Signs you need bath repair in Preston-under-Scar
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Common reasons people in Preston-under-Scar contact us include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Landlord and trade work in Preston-under-Scar
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Preston-under-Scar use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- 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, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
FAQs for Preston-under-Scar
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Preston-under-Scar?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
