How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Bath repair at your home in New Charlton
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a cracked acrylic bath.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What else we do in New Charlton
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently 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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for New Charlton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why New Charlton clients choose us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colour-matched on site

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
New Charlton: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Are there extra charges for New Charlton?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
