Before and after: a damaged acrylic bath corner repaired in place

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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

Materials we work on in Catteralslane

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

When to call us in Catteralslane

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Before you book anyone
