Trusted bath repair in Charing

Bath repair in Charing, done in place

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and snagging damage from a refit.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath repair in Charing

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Holes from dropped items

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Landlord and trade work in Charing

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Charing

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Charing. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Charing 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 happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

FAQs for Charing

Do you come to Charing?

We do. Technicians travel to Charing from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
