Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Knightley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Knightley, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

What else we do in Knightley
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Knightley
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
What affects the price in Knightley
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in Knightley 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.
Common problems we fix in Knightley
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Knightley questions
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
