Bath repair in Swallowbeck without replacing anything
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. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and chips on the rim or sides, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlord and trade work in Swallowbeck
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Swallowbeck questions
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Swallowbeck and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Swallowbeck?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Swallowbeck. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel

When to call us in Swallowbeck
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
