- Repairs from £95
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Bath repair in Catsfield without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need bath repair in Catsfield
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Questions from Catsfield
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Catsfield. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
