How we handle bath repair in Swinhill
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Swinhill and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we are called out for in Swinhill
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips under the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

FAQs for Swinhill
Do you cover the entire of South Lanarkshire?
All of South Lanarkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Swinhill?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
If you are in Swinhill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
