Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mountsett
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mountsett as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why Mountsett clients choose us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Same prices wherever you are
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
FAQs for Mountsett
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you need bath repair in Mountsett?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mountsett. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
