What we are called out for in Temple Balsall
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
How we handle bath repair in Temple Balsall
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Temple Balsall questions
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. 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.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
What affects the price in Temple Balsall
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Temple Balsall. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
