How we handle bath repair in Knave-in-hole
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chipped rim or side.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Knave-in-hole, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

The process
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 normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
