Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How we handle bath repair in Charlestown
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a hole punched through by something heavy, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Charlestown get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Do you need bath repair in Charlestown?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Charlestown
If you manage property in Charlestown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Charlestown questions
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Charlestown?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
