Need bath repair in Monkton Wyld?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Bath repair at your home in Monkton Wyld

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and holes from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Monkton Wyld

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Monkton Wyld as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DT6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath repair in Monkton Wyld?

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Common reasons people in Monkton Wyld contact us are:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again

Your questions about bath repair in Monkton Wyld

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
