Bath repair in Swingleton Green without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are frequently asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and rust spots around the plughole, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Swingleton Green
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Swingleton Green included. There is no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Swingleton Green?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Swingleton Green. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Swingleton Green and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Swingleton Green
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Swingleton Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Do you need bath repair in Swingleton Green?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
