Bath repair in Lower Swell

Bath repair at your home in Lower Swell

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re often asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and snagging damage from a refit, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Swell

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace in Lower Swell?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the whole UK

Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Lower Swell

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about bath repair in Lower Swell

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How much does bath repair cost in Lower Swell?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you work in Lower Swell?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lower Swell. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
