How we handle bath repair in Swinton
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about bath repair in Swinton
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What areas do you cover?
All of Salford, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Landlord and trade work in Swinton
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
