Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Bath repair in Swinfen without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about impact holes in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides.

When to call us in Swinfen
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Questions from Swinfen
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you come to Swinfen?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Swinfen and the rest of Staffordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Swinfen. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
