Bath repair in Swanwick without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and a chipped rim or side, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Common problems we fix in Swanwick
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps

FAQs for Swanwick
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work in Swanwick?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Swanwick. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Swanwick. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our prices page and bath cost comparison.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
