When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Swettenham: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of 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 can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Signs you need bath repair in Swettenham
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
