Bath repair in Charlestown, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and damage beneath the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Charlestown: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you work in Charlestown?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Charlestown and the rest of Aberdeen. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Charlestown. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
