Bath repair in Swinbrook without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and holes from dropped items.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Swinbrook: your questions answered
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
When to call us in Swinbrook
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What we do, step by step
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 few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
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.
