Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Catterline. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?

- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Do you need bath repair in Catterline?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What aftercare is recommended

What we cannot put right

- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Questions from Catterline
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
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 early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
