Repair or replace in Cattedown?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
FAQs for Cattedown
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you cover the whole of Plymouth?
Across the UK, so Cattedown is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do you cover Cattedown?
We do. We send a technician to Cattedown for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Do you need bath repair in Cattedown?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole
