Letting agents often send us pictures 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.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Bath repair in Cat Bank, done in place

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What we’re called out for in Cat Bank
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
FAQs for Cat Bank
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Cat Bank?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No extra charge for your area
