How we handle bath repair in Temple End
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Do you need bath repair in Temple End?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Holes from dropped items
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
