How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

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 will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Bath repair in Mount Pleasant without replacing anything

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips on the rim or sides, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Mount Pleasant and across Suffolk.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

What affects the price in Mount Pleasant

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Mount Pleasant. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

What we are called out for in Mount Pleasant

Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chipped rim or side

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

Mount Pleasant: your questions answered

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Mount Pleasant. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
