About our bath repair in Headstone
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. If you’re dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps, we can generally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

What else we do in Headstone
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
When to call us in Headstone
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Repair or replace in Headstone?
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 nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why Headstone customers choose us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Same prices wherever you are

Your questions about bath repair in Headstone
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
