How we handle bath repair in Swinton
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are holes from dropped items and a kit repair that didn’t last.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

When to call us in Swinton
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders

Your questions about bath repair in Swinton
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Swinton?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
