What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Bath repair in Charlton without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, 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 deep scratches in acrylic, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we’re called out for in Charlton
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
Repairing versus replacing in Charlton
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Charlton customers choose us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Work done at your home or business

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Your questions about bath repair in Charlton
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oxfordshire.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Charlton. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your OX12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
