Landlord and trade work in Swinnow

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Your questions about bath repair in Swinnow
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
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. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Do you need bath repair in Swinnow?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage from a refit
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
