Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Charlton Mackrell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common problems we fix in Charlton Mackrell
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

What else we do in Charlton Mackrell
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Charlton Mackrell
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
