How we handle bath repair in Prestwood
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and chips caused by builders, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Prestwood, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.
- 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What we’re called out for in Prestwood
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
FAQs for Prestwood
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
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 price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
