Bath repair at your home in Swineshead
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the day after. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and impact holes in acrylic.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Swineshead: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- Rooms protected and left tidy

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. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What else we do in Swineshead
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
