About our bath repair in Knowbury
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Knowbury
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Knowbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Knowbury, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
FAQs for Knowbury
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Will I be able to see the repair?
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.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
