Bath Repair in Knowsthorpe

Bath repair in Knowsthorpe without replacing anything

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 next day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools 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 can start.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves 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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

Questions from Knowsthorpe

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you come to Knowsthorpe?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Knowsthorpe. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you protect the room?

We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces first, and clean up before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses in Knowsthorpe?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What guarantee do I get?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you need bath repair in Knowsthorpe?

Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
  • Scratches and burns
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
