Bath repair near Temple Fortune

Bath repair in Temple Fortune without replacing anything

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Temple Fortune and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Signs you need bath repair in Temple Fortune

Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Questions from Temple Fortune

Do you work in Temple Fortune?

We do. Technicians travel to Temple Fortune from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
