How we handle bath repair in Knightcote
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and a chip where the taps sit, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Questions from Knightcote
Are there extra charges for Knightcote?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Knightcote is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What affects the price in Knightcote
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Knightcote. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
