Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Charlestown get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What else we do in Charlestown
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Your questions about bath repair in Charlestown
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Charlestown?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
