Landlords, agents and businesses in Headcorn
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Headcorn
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We are often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Headcorn?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Headcorn. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Headcorn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Headcorn
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
