Bath repair in Kempston Hardwick without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you are dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips under the taps, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kempston Hardwick and across Bedford Borough.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Do you need bath repair in Kempston Hardwick?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps

Questions from Kempston Hardwick
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Are there extra charges for Kempston Hardwick?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
