When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Bath repair at your home in Knowle
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Knowle
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you work in Knowle?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Knowle and the rest of Shropshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Signs you need bath repair in Knowle
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Common reasons people in Knowle contact us are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Knowle
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. 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 usually the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Knowle
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Knowle. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knowle use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
