When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Bath repair in Swingfield Minnis, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and rust spots around the plughole, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Do you need bath repair in Swingfield Minnis?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Your questions about bath repair in Swingfield Minnis
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you cover Swingfield Minnis?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Swingfield Minnis and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Are there extra charges for Swingfield Minnis?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Landlord and trade work in Swingfield Minnis

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Repairing versus replacing in Swingfield Minnis

We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
