What affects the price in Catford
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Your questions about bath repair in Catford
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you need bath repair in Catford?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
- Aftercare advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
There’s 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.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
