We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and chips along the edge of the bath, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Do you need bath repair in Temple Hirst?
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.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides

Repair or replace in Temple Hirst?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What else we do in Temple Hirst
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Temple Hirst use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Temple Hirst questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
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.
