Landlords, agents and businesses in Monks Risborough

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Monks Risborough

A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A cracked acrylic bath

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Monks Risborough

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long does the repair take to cure?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What affects the price in Monks Risborough

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Monks Risborough. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
