When to call us in Knighton Heath
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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 what we repair.
FAQs for Knighton Heath
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What affects the price in Knighton Heath
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
