Do you need bath repair in Porchfield?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side

Bath repair in Porchfield without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and snagging damage from a refit.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Porchfield questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Porchfield. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
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 price.

What a repair cannot fix

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Isle of Wight and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
