Bath repair in Charlwood, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Common problems we fix in Charlwood
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again

Your questions about bath repair in Charlwood
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Charlwood
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
