- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How we handle bath repair in Kimpton
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Do you need bath repair in Kimpton?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Your questions about bath repair in Kimpton
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How much does bath repair cost in Kimpton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
