Common problems we fix in Hempton
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before booking

How we handle bath repair in Hempton
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rusty patches near the plughole, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hempton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hempton. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Repairing versus replacing in Hempton
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Most jobs done in one visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hempton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Common questions in Hempton
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

We work UK-wide, and that includes Hempton. Prices do not change with location.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
