About our bath repair in Swanton
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We’re often asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Swanton and across Kent.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
What else we do in Swanton
Landlords, agents and businesses in Swanton
For anyone letting property in or around Swanton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Swanton customers choose us
- Everything repaired in place
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Swanton questions
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your 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
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Signs you need bath repair in Swanton
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
