About our bath repair in Monkokehampton

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Monkokehampton

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

We cover the whole UK, including Monkokehampton and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Monkokehampton, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Monkokehampton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
