Bath repair in Whippingham without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are holes from dropped items and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Whippingham and across Isle of Wight.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Whippingham: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PO32 postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover the entire of Isle of Wight?
We work UK-wide, so Whippingham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Common problems we fix in Whippingham
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
