Bath repair for Whiteley Bank, without a refit. Get a fixed price from your pictures, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Bath repair in Whiteley Bank, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We are often asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

What we’re called out for in Whiteley Bank
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Store metal items away from the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Whiteley Bank. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you do not 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.
Whiteley Bank questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Isle of Wight.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
