Bath Repair for Sandown homes
Our technicians come to Sandown for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
About our bath repair in Sandown
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, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We are frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Our visits in PO36 and PO37 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Streets in the area include High Street, Nunwell Street and Park Rise, all of which we cover. Sandown sits on or near the A3055 and A3056, so getting to you is simple. We also cover the places around Sandown: Lake (1 mile south-west), Yaverland (1 mile north-east), Adgestone (1 mile north), Alverstone (1 mile north-west) and Morton (1 mile north-east).

Around Sandown
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Bay Church of England School, Sandown Bay Academy and Christ Church and the streets around them. Nearby too are The Old Comical pub (within half a mile east) and Broadlea Primary School (0.9 miles south-west). Sandown has its own railway station: Sandown station. Other landmarks nearby include National Poo Museum (within half a mile south) and Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (1.6 miles south-west).

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.
Common questions in Sandown
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are there extra charges for Sandown?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Sandown
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Sandown. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
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. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Sandown customers choose us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Generally one visit, start to finish

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
