Monkton questions
How soon can I use it again?
Usually the same day or the next, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.

Should I repair or replace?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Bath repair in Monkton without replacing anything
You can usually use the bath the next day. A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are rust spots where the enamel has gone and scratches and burns.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. 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.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
On the day, 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 morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Advice
Do you need bath repair in Monkton?
Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Scratches and burns
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
- What aftercare is recommended
