Bath repair at your home in Knotford
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Knotford and across Leeds.

Common problems we fix in Knotford
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Knotford questions
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Repairing versus replacing in Knotford
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are 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.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Knotford, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
