About our bath repair in Temple
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common questions in Temple
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Signs you need bath repair in Temple
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote

What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel

- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Neighbouring places we cover include Chatter Alley (1 mile south-east), Corsley Heath (1 mile north-west), Lye's Green (1 mile north-west), Lane End (1 mile north-west) and Corsley (1 mile north).

Around Temple

Other landmarks nearby include Motte and double ringwork east of Bishopstrow Farm (4.7 miles east) and Warminster Museum (3.1 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Shearwater and Cley Hill.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
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. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Landlord and trade work in Temple
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Temple as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
