How we handle bath repair in Swithland
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Other services in Swithland
What we are called out for in Swithland
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Look out for these signs:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swithland as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
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 early repairs matter.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Common questions in Swithland
Are there extra charges for Swithland?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Swithland. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Swithland get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
