What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
If you’re in Knayton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Bath repair at your home in Knayton
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and chips caused by builders, we can help.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

Repair or replace in Knayton?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. 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.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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 day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
FAQs for Knayton
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
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.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Knayton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Knayton
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Common problems we fix in Knayton
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
