Bath repair in Kemberton, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chip where the taps sit, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kemberton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Kemberton. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Kemberton
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides

- Who will actually do the work

Landlord and trade work in Kemberton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Kemberton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Have new chips seen to early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
