Bath repair near Swaton

Bath repair in Swaton, done in place

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and rust by the waste and overflow.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Common questions in Swaton

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Lincolnshire.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace in Swaton?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Do you need bath repair in Swaton?

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Comparing quotes

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
