Bath repair in Swarby without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Do you need bath repair in Swarby?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Questions from Swarby
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How much does bath repair cost in Swarby?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Swarby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Work done at your home or business
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit
See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
