When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel

About our bath repair in Monk's Gate

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and a hole punched through by something heavy, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need bath repair in Monk's Gate

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Monk's Gate

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Monk's Gate. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Monk's Gate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Monk's Gate

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairing versus replacing in Monk's Gate

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Monk's Gate: your questions answered

Do you come to Monk's Gate?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Monk's Gate from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
