Bath repair at your home in Knipton

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust by the waste and overflow, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Knipton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Knipton clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 usually the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Knipton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

FAQs for Knipton

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
