Repairing versus replacing in Kempston Church End
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A fixed quote before booking
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

About our bath repair in Kempston Church End
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kempston Church End
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kempston Church End as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bedford Borough and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kempston Church End. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
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 sets in.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What a repair cannot fix
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
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
