Questions from Knighton
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Bath repair at your home in Knighton
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with snagging damage from a refit and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Knighton
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

About Knighton
Knighton is about 2 miles south-west of Ferndown, in Bournemouth. We work in every kind of home, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. Knighton is one of 20 towns and villages in Bournemouth we cover.
Our visits in BH11 and BH21 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Neighbouring places we cover include Bearwood (1 mile south), Hampreston (1 mile north), Longham (1 mile north-east), Canford Magna (1 mile north-west) and Little Canford (1 mile north). Within a short drive, we also cover Bournemouth (4 miles south-east), Springbourne (5 miles south-east), Muscliff (3 miles south-east), Pokesdown (6 miles south-east), Redhill (3 miles south-east) and Boscombe (5 miles south-east).
Around Knighton
We visit homes around Fernheath Playing Fields, LeAF Studio and LeAF Studio and the streets around them. Nearby too are St. Barnabas Church (0.8 miles south) and Bearwood Primary and Nursery School (0.6 miles south-west). For rail, the closest station is Branksome station, about 3.6 miles south of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around Alderney Hospital (2.1 miles south) and Stapehill Abbey (1.7 miles north).
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Knighton. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What we are called out for in Knighton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
