Bath repair at your home in Charlestown
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.

Do you need bath repair in Charlestown?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
Comparing quotes
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Repair or replace in Charlestown?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Charlestown. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Most customers in Charlestown get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Questions from Charlestown
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Fife. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
