Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we handle bath repair in Knotty Ash
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.

Advice
When to call us in Knotty Ash
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 lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Scratches and burns
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
