When to call us in Upton
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Bath repair in Upton, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and snagging damage from a refit.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Upton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

About Upton
Upton is about 1 mile south-west of Ryde, in Isle of Wight. We agree a date that works for you, and we’ll give you an arrival time in advance, so there is no waiting around. Upton is one of 125 towns and villages in Isle of Wight we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 72 miles away.
All of PO33 is within our area. That includes homes on Stroud Wood Road, Upton Road and Carters Road. Close by, we cover Haylands (1 mile north-east), Binstead (1 mile north), Ryde (1 mile north-east), Oakfield (1 mile north-east) and Elmfield (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Newport (5 miles west), Cowes (6 miles north-west), Sandown (4 miles south), Shanklin (6 miles south), Ventnor (8 miles south) and East Cowes (5 miles north-west). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

Upton’s nearest station is Smallbrook Junction station, about 1.1 miles east of the centre.

Questions from Upton
Do you cover the whole of Isle of Wight?
Across the UK, so Upton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How much does bath repair cost in Upton?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you come to Upton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Upton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Repairing versus replacing in Upton
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
