About our bath repair in Monikie

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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.

Repair or replace in Monikie?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Common questions in Monikie

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Monikie?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we are called out for in Monikie

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
