Bath repair for Swanbourne homes

Bath repair in Swanbourne, done in place

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and chips under the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Repair or replace in Swanbourne?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Swanbourne. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your MK17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Swanbourne

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Common problems we fix in Swanbourne

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

Common questions in Swanbourne

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work in Swanbourne?

We do. We send a technician to Swanbourne for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
