- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath repair in Knowle West without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and snagging damage from a refit, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Knowle West. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Knowle West. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BS4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When to call us in Knowle West
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
