How we handle bath repair in Swyre
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and chips along the edge of the bath, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Swyre and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. 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. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Swyre. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The material
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common questions in Swyre
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Swyre?
We do. We send a technician to Swyre for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Swyre
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
When to call us in Swyre
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.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
