What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Bath repair in Charltons without replacing anything

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last.

Questions from Charltons

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Redcar and Cleveland. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Do you come to Charltons?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Charltons from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Charltons

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Charltons. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TS12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Charltons

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charltons as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Repairing versus replacing in Charltons

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
