About our bath repair in Charleshill

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and chips under the taps.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Charleshill as everywhere else we work.

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Use gentle, 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 it can start to leak underneath.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
