What we are called out for in Swarcliffe
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Bath repair in Swarcliffe, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and rusty patches near the plughole, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit

- Let us know about parking or access

Common questions in Swarcliffe
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your HG3 postcode.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Are there extra charges for Swarcliffe?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
