About our bath repair in Cutthorpe
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and rust spots around the plughole, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we are called out for in Cutthorpe
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Cutthorpe
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover Cutthorpe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cutthorpe. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace in Cutthorpe?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
