Bath repair in Montacute

FAQs for Montacute

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Montacute?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

How we handle bath repair in Montacute

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are often asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and rusty patches near the plughole, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Montacute

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Montacute

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
