Bath repair across Knowle and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Signs you need bath repair in Knowle
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
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.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What else we do in Knowle
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
