Bath repair at your home in Knights Enham

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with holes from dropped items and a cracked acrylic bath, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Signs you need bath repair in Knights Enham

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Knights Enham. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SP10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Knights Enham questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Knights Enham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic

Repairing versus replacing in Knights Enham

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
