Bath repair in Charlestown, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a cracked acrylic bath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Charlestown
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Charlestown. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What we are called out for 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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
Your questions about bath repair in Charlestown
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
For anyone letting property in or around Charlestown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
