Bath repair in Knowle Style, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Knowle Style. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knowle Style as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Knowle Style questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When to call us in Knowle Style
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
