How we handle bath repair in Knightsmill
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Knightsmill
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Landlord and trade work in Knightsmill
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
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 bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Knightsmill. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PL30 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
