What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What affects the price in Charlton
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Charlton. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Charlton questions
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
When to call us in Charlton
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- How to look after the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
