Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we handle bath repair in East Cowes
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with impact holes in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, we can usually put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

When to call us in East Cowes
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including East Cowes. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for East Cowes. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
