Common questions in Preston Wynne

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Preston Wynne.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

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

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What affects the price in Preston Wynne

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Preston Wynne. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Preston Wynne

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Preston Wynne use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Preston Wynne, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
