How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Bath repair in Hillway, done in place
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Questions from Hillway
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How much does bath repair cost in Hillway?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you cover the entire of Isle of Wight?
All of Isle of Wight, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Signs you need bath repair in Hillway
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:

- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
