Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we handle bath repair in Headcorn
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are often asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Headcorn and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Do you need bath repair in Headcorn?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TN27 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
