Bath repair at your home in Hillgrove
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and impact holes in acrylic.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Isle of Wight.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Your questions about bath repair in Hillgrove
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hillgrove. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hillgrove, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
