Trusted bath repair in Temple

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Bath repair at your home in Temple

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Before and after: a damaged acrylic bath corner repaired in place

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Temple. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Temple

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Temple: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Temple?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Common problems we fix in Temple

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to care for the finish
