Bath repair at your home in Charlestown
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. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We’re often asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and cracks in an acrylic bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Look after 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.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
FAQs for Charlestown
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Are there extra charges for Charlestown?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How much does bath repair cost in Charlestown?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. 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.
Related advice
Do you need bath repair in Charlestown?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Charlestown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
