Advice
Bath repair in Charlcombe without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
For a rural address like Charlcombe, we plan the journey and the visit in advance. Let us know about access and where to park, and we will do the rest.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Replacement in Charlcombe means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
What we are called out for in Charlcombe
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
For older houses around Charlcombe, near landmarks such as Church of St Mary, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bath and North East Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
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 won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Questions from Charlcombe
Can you restore the original baths in an older house in Charlcombe?
In most cases: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. Send pictures and we will advise.
Will you travel to Charlcombe?
Of course; we work in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
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.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Charlcombe and the rest of Bath and North East Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
