Bath repair at your home in Brighstone
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips caused by builders, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Isle of Wight.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Brighstone. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know

Questions from Brighstone
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
