Bath repair for Charlton homes

Bath repair in Charlton, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or sides and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Charlton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repair or replace in Charlton?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our full price list or bath cost comparison.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

When to call us in Charlton

Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust spots around the plughole

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Charlton. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

For a price in Charlton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
