Springhead: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How we handle bath repair in Springhead
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and a chipped rim or side, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Springhead as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Do you need bath repair in Springhead?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Common reasons people in Springhead contact us are:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What else we do in Springhead
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
