Bath repair in Knebworth without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and a chip where the taps sit, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in Knebworth
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Knebworth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Knebworth questions
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What areas do you cover?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Knebworth.
What we’re called out for in Knebworth
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Knebworth
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
If you manage property in Knebworth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
