Bath repair in Kneesall without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Around Kneesall

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Kneesall, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Do you need bath repair in Kneesall?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Questions from Kneesall
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Kneesall is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
