FAQs for Temple Hill
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Temple Hill. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Common problems we fix in Temple Hill
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
- What aftercare is recommended
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Temple Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- 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
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
