Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. We’re frequently asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and rusty patches near the plughole, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.

Repair or replace in Knott End-on-Sea?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. 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, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The material
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 will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
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.

Knott End-on-Sea questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Are there extra charges for Knott End-on-Sea?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Common problems we fix in Knott End-on-Sea
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.

- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long it needs to cure
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
