How we handle bath repair in Knolton

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or sides and rusty patches near the plughole, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Do you need bath repair in Knolton?

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Our hiring checklist

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Knolton

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knolton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What your bath is made of matters

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

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in Knolton?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Knolton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Knolton questions

Will the repair last?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Typically, 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.
