How we handle bath repair in Kimpton
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Signs you need bath repair in Kimpton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What preparation is included
Questions from Kimpton
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Kimpton.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Kimpton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Kimpton
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
