Bath repair in Shanklin Village without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and cracks in an acrylic bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Shanklin Village questions
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Shanklin Village?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
When to call us in Shanklin Village
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shanklin Village. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Shanklin Village customers choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- A fixed quote before booking
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
