DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle bath repair in Alswear
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 fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are a kit repair that didn’t last and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Questions from Alswear
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How much does bath repair cost in Alswear?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Alswear. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- 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, generally the next day.
