Bath repair in Ventnor, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage beneath the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
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 chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Landlord and trade work in Ventnor
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Isle of Wight and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ventnor. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ventnor, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Ventnor
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Repairing versus replacing in Ventnor
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A fixed quote before you book
- One visit for most repairs
