How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Bath repair at your home in Swayfield

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and a cracked acrylic bath, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Swayfield and across Lincolnshire.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Store metal items away from the bath

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swayfield as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Swayfield

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Repairing versus replacing in Swayfield

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Swayfield

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we’re called out for in Swayfield

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
