How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Bath repair in Swanton Abbott, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Swanton Abbott
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Swanton Abbott
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Swanton Abbott
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
