How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Bath repair in Bembridge, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust spots around the plughole.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Bembridge questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Bembridge?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PO35 postcode.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Signs you need bath repair in Bembridge
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Repairing versus replacing in Bembridge
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bembridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
