Trusted bath repair in Swine

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Bath repair in Swine without replacing anything

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We are often asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and holes from dropped items, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Swine

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are there extra charges for Swine?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Repair or replace in Swine?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • 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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What we’re called out for in Swine

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
