How we handle bath repair in Cowes
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and chips on the rim or sides.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What else we do in Cowes
Questions from Cowes
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
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.
How much does bath repair cost in Cowes?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- We leave the room as we found it

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cowes
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need bath repair in Cowes?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
