Trusted bath repair in Charlton All Saints

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Bath repair in Charlton All Saints without replacing anything

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and chips under the taps, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Charlton All Saints

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Charlton All Saints

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

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 we are called out for in Charlton All Saints

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
