Bath repair at your home in Temple End
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you’re dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What we’re called out for in Temple End
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Repair or replace in Temple End?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Temple End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Temple End: your questions answered
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Temple End as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
