Kempston: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Kempston and the rest of Bedford Borough. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Common problems we fix in Kempston
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What affects the price in Kempston
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
