- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How we handle bath repair in Catton
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and chips on the rim or sides, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
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.

Repair or replace in Catton?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in Catton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Catton questions
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How much does bath repair cost in Catton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do you work in Catton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Catton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
