  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Bath repair in Chapel Knapp, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are frequently asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Do you need bath repair in Chapel Knapp?

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Chapel Knapp. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, 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 often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Why repair rather than replace?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Your questions about bath repair in Chapel Knapp

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Wiltshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
