Bath repair in Swingate without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and damage beneath the taps.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Swingate and across Nottinghamshire.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Swingate. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Covering Swingate
Swingate is about 2 miles south-east of Eastwood, in Nottinghamshire. Book a date that suits you, and we will give you an arrival time in advance, so there’s no waiting around.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swingate as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Swingate, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Swingate: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you cover Swingate?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Swingate. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
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 it pays to deal with it early.
