How we handle bath repair in Temple
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips under the taps, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
What we are called out for in Temple
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Temple
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
