Your questions about bath repair in Knapton
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How we handle bath repair in Knapton
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and a hole punched through by something heavy, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. 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.

What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire 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
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What else we do in Knapton
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
