Bath repair in Charlton, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about chips along the edge of the bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath repair in Charlton
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we are called out for in Charlton
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit

Repairing versus replacing in Charlton
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Everything repaired in place
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
