How we handle bath repair in Knapwell
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips under the taps, we can usually put it right.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

What else we do in Knapwell
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Knapwell questions
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What affects the price in Knapwell
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CB23 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Knapwell
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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we’re called out for in Knapwell
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Repairing versus replacing in Knapwell
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
