Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Repairing versus replacing in Chartham
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Chartham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us

- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Chartham: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
