Bath Repair in Temple Dinsley

- Repairs from £95
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How we handle bath repair in Temple Dinsley
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can typically put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have 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 are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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 day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Temple Dinsley, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
