About our bath repair in Charlton
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common questions in Charlton
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What areas do you cover?
All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Charlton. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Charlton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
