Bath repair at your home in West Monkton
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for West Monkton
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a bath repair durable?
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 repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you work in West Monkton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to West Monkton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in West Monkton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material
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
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Common problems we fix in West Monkton
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
