Bath repair in Knowsthorpe, done in place
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. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about chips along the edge of the bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about bath repair in Knowsthorpe
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Knowsthorpe included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
When to call us in Knowsthorpe
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Knowsthorpe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
