What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Nothing taken out or refitted

FAQs for Knapp
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Knapp and the rest of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
