Bath repair in Merstone without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common questions in Merstone
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How much does bath repair cost in Merstone?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you come to Merstone?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Merstone and the rest of Isle of Wight. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Isle of Wight.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Everything repaired in place
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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 day after.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
