Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you are dealing with chips under the taps and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cross Lane. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Cross Lane: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why Cross Lane customers choose us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Our work in Cross Lane
Cross Lane is about 1 mile north-east of Newport, in Isle of Wight. From the centre of Cross Lane to the outlying streets, we offer exactly the same service: a fixed quote, a tidy visit and a guarantee. Our repair technicians cover all 125 towns and villages in Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Cross Lane to London (about 75 miles away).
Our visits in PO30, PO31 and PO41 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. From Ash Road, Chain Lane and Beech Road or a nearby road, we can come to you. We also cover the places around Cross Lane: Barton (1 mile south), Fairlee (1 mile north), Staplers (1 mile south-east), Hillgrove (1 mile north-east) and Whippingham (3 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Ryde (5 miles east), Cowes (4 miles north), Sandown (6 miles south-east), Shanklin (7 miles south-east), Ventnor (8 miles south-east) and East Cowes (3 miles north). Some remote addresses need extra planning, so it’s best to call first.

You’ll also find Seaclose Park (within half a mile north), Bargeman's Rest pub (within half a mile west) and Summerfields Primary School (within half a mile north-east).

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cross Lane as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
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.
What else we do in Cross Lane
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
