Bath repair in Kempsey

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Bath repair in Kempsey without replacing anything

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. We’re often asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and cracks in an acrylic bath, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Common problems we fix in Kempsey

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Kempsey questions

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Kempsey?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your WR5 postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Landlord and trade work in Kempsey

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kempsey use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
