How we handle bath repair in Knatts Valley
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the day after. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

FAQs for Knatts Valley
Do you come to Knatts Valley?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Knatts Valley and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
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.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knatts Valley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
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. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
What we are called out for in Knatts Valley
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- How to care for the finish
