How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare. In a village or hamlet like Wellow, access can be the only tricky part. Once we’re there, the bath repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Bath repair in Wellow, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Rural addresses like Wellow just need a little planning. Let us know about access and where to park, and we’ll do the rest.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What else we do in Wellow
Bath repair around Wellow
In the older streets of Wellow, around landmarks like Wellow Baptist Church, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.
Wellow is about 6 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. We agree a date that works for you, and we will give you an arrival time in advance, so you are not left waiting in all day. Wellow is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover.
All of PO41 is within our area for bath repair. Nearby, we also carry out bath repair in Thorley Street (1 mile north-west), Ningwood (1 mile east), Thorley (1 mile north-west), Newbridge (1 mile east) and Shalcombe (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Newport (7 miles east), Ryde (13 miles east), Cowes (8 miles north-east), Sandown (13 miles east), Shanklin (13 miles east) and Ventnor (12 miles south-east).

Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. For a rural home like those around Wellow, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Everything repaired in place
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
See our Pricing Or Bath cost comparison.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wellow
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wellow use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Wellow: your questions answered
Do you cover villages like Wellow?
Yes, we do: Wellow is covered like any town. Just mention any tricky access.
Can you restore the original baths in an older house in Wellow?
Frequently, yes: original pieces are generally worth keeping. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Wellow. The price depends on:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
