Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath repair in Charsfield, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are deep scratches in acrylic and impact holes in acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Questions from Charsfield
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Charsfield?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Charsfield, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath repair in Charsfield?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
