How we handle bath repair in Shanklin
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage

Shanklin questions
Do you cover the whole of Isle of Wight?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Shanklin. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How much does bath repair cost in Shanklin?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlord and trade work in Shanklin
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shanklin as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What affects the price in Shanklin
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
