Bath repair at your home in Cat Hill
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about chips caused by builders and rusty patches near the plughole.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What else we do in Cat Hill
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace in Cat Hill?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cat Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No extra charge for your area

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Cat Hill. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Common problems we fix in Cat Hill
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price covers travel
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
FAQs for Cat Hill
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
