How we handle bath repair in Swinford
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are damage beneath the taps and rust spots around the plughole.

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Everything repaired in place
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Common questions in Swinford
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Are there extra charges for Swinford?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swinford use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Do you need bath repair in Swinford?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Swinford. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Swinford and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
