About our bath repair in Catrine
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We’re often asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and holes from dropped items, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Catrine. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
If you are in Catrine and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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 following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Your questions about bath repair in Catrine
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Catrine. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Catrine
If you manage property in Catrine, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
