How we handle bath repair in Kempshott
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and chips caused by builders, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Kempshott
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you come to Kempshott?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Kempshott from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Care for 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.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
When to call us in Kempshott
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit

- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure

Other services in Kempshott
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
