Bath Repair in Knighton Heath
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Knighton Heath, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
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, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How we handle bath repair in Knighton Heath
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Knighton Heath, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

FAQs for Knighton Heath
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you cover the whole of Bournemouth?
All of Bournemouth, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
