Bath repair in Swerford

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath repair in Swerford, done in place

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and a cracked acrylic bath, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Questions from Swerford

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Swerford.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?

Across the UK, so Swerford is covered. Prices do not change with location.

What affects the price in Swerford

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Swerford?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  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 day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OX7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
