What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
FAQs for Catworth
Do you work in Catworth?
We do. We send a technician to Catworth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Catworth?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What else we do in Catworth
What we can’t put right

- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Repair or replace in Catworth?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour-matched on site
- Work done at your home or business

What affects the price in Catworth
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Catworth. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
