Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Common problems we fix in Swineford
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- What aftercare is recommended
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Swineford, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
