Common problems we fix in Monkerton
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.

Bath repair in Monkerton without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust spots around the plughole.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Monkerton and across Devon.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Monkerton
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Our work in Monkerton
Monkerton is about 2 miles east of Polsloe, in Devon. From the centre of Monkerton to the outlying streets, we offer exactly the same service: a fixed quote, a tidy visit and a guarantee. Monkerton is one of 586 towns and villages in Devon we cover.
Here we cover the EX1, EX4 and EX5 postcode area. From Pinn Lane, Causey Lane and Roman Avenue or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. If you are just outside Monkerton, we cover Pinhoe (1 mile north), Clyst Honiton (1 mile east), West Clyst (1 mile north), Whipton (1 mile south-west) and Sowton (1 mile south-east).

Nearby too are Pinhoe Church of England Primary School (less than half a mile north-west) and Poltimore Arms (within half a mile north).

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Monkerton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour-matched on site
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
