- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Bath repair in Charlton Kings 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. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We’re often asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and chips on the rim or sides, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Charlton Kings get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Charlton Kings: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Charlton Kings
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
