Bath repair at your home in Knighton
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repairing versus replacing in Knighton
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When to call us in Knighton
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Questions from Knighton
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover the entire of Leicester?
All of Leicester, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
