Choosing a repair company

How we handle bath repair in Monk Sherborne

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 repaired in place, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a hole punched through by something heavy and deep scratches in acrylic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

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.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Monk Sherborne, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Questions from Monk Sherborne

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Monk Sherborne and the rest of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you come to Monk Sherborne?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Monk Sherborne for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

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

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
