Bath repair in Old Catton without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are rusty patches near the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NR6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

More services for Old Catton
Do you need bath repair in Old Catton?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common questions in Old Catton
How much does bath repair cost in Old Catton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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.
