How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Questions from Chartway Street
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Are there extra charges for Chartway Street?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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 whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Chartway Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
