About our bath repair in Swaile's Green
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 frequently asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips under the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
When to call us in Swaile's Green
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry

Repairing versus replacing in Swaile's Green
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Swaile's Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
FAQs for Swaile's Green
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
