How we handle bath repair in Swinderby
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 regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chipped rim or side.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What else we do in Swinderby
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Swinderby
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Repairing versus replacing in Swinderby
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Common problems we fix in Swinderby
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Swinderby. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Swinderby get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 frequently lifts.
Swinderby questions
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
