Repairing versus replacing in Rookley
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Bath repair at your home in Rookley
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and scratches in the surface and snagging damage from a refit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we are called out for in Rookley
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Rookley: your questions answered
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Rookley. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Covering Rookley
Rookley is about 3 miles south of Newport, in Isle of Wight. We agree a date that works for you, and we’ll give you an arrival time in advance, so you’re not left waiting in all day. Our repair technicians cover all 125 towns and villages in Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. Our jobs stretch from Rookley to London (about 78 miles away).
Jobs in PO38 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. We regularly work on streets such as Manor Crescent, Niton Road and Main Road. If you are just outside Rookley, we cover Rookley Green (1 mile south), Merstone (1 mile north-east), Blackwater (1 mile north), Godshill (2 miles south-east) and Sandford (2 miles south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Newport (3 miles north), Ryde (7 miles north-east), Cowes (7 miles north), Sandown (5 miles east), Shanklin (5 miles east) and Ventnor (5 miles south-east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.
What’s near Rookley
Our clients here include homes close to St. Olave's Church, Chillerton and Rookley Primary School and Chequers Inn and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Shanklin station, roughly 4.7 miles east. Other landmarks nearby include Carisbrooke Castle (2.7 miles north-west) and Whitecroft Hospital (1.6 miles north-west). For a walk, there is Stenbury Down and Alverstone Mead.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
