Landmarks near Kilkhampton
In Kilkhampton, that means homes near Kilkhampton Junior and Infant School, Church of St James and The Old Cartaret Arms and the streets around them. A little further out are Bradworthy Transport Museum (2.4 miles east) and Penstowe Castle (0.7 miles west). The countryside around Kilkhampton includes Marsland Valley.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kilkhampton
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Do you need bath repair in Kilkhampton?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
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.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you do not 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, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Kilkhampton: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Kilkhampton
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
