Need bath repair in Mockbeggar?

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bath repair at your home in Mockbeggar

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Mockbeggar

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you work in Mockbeggar?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Mockbeggar and the rest of Medway. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

When to call us in Mockbeggar

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips caused by builders

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Mockbeggar. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Mockbeggar. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
