Trusted bath repair in Mountfield

Bath repair in Mountfield, done in place

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. We are frequently asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and rust by the waste and overflow, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Repair or replace in Mountfield?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book

Common problems we fix in Mountfield

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rust spots around the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

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’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
