Bath repair in Knowle St Giles without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and impact holes in acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
What affects the price in Knowle St Giles
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Knowle St Giles, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Questions from Knowle St Giles
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

When to call us in Knowle St Giles
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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if they find more damage
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
