How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Bath repair at your home in Catshaw
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and snagging damage from a refit, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Catshaw and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Catshaw
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What we’re called out for in Catshaw
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
