Bath repair at your home in Swepstone
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Swepstone
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
There is 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. Take it off before we arrive.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Questions from Swepstone
Do you cover Swepstone?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Swepstone from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How much does bath repair cost in Swepstone?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do you cover the entire of Leicestershire?
We cover the whole UK, including Swepstone and the rest of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
