Bath chip & crack repair in Swindon, Gloucestershire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Swindon, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally 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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour-matched on site

Bath repair in Swindon, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We’re frequently asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust by the waste and overflow, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Landlord and trade work in Swindon
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Questions from Swindon
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Swindon and the rest of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
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 repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What we are called out for in Swindon
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Common reasons people in Swindon contact us are:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
