Bath Repair for Swindon homes
Local bath repair for Swindon: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Bath repair in Swindon without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are rust spots around the plughole and chips on the rim or sides.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Swindon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Common questions in Swindon
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Swindon. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Swindon
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel

- Roll-top & freestanding

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Use gentle, 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 it’s worth getting them done early.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
