How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
How we handle bath repair in Knockentiber
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 so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Ayrshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common questions in Knockentiber
How do I get a price for bath repair in Knockentiber?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your KA2 postcode.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
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.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Repairing versus replacing in Knockentiber
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: 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. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
