About bath repair in CT16
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and holes from dropped items.
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Landmarks near Whitfield
Around Whitfield, we work in homes near St Edmund's Catholic School, Whitfield Aspen School and Church of St Peter, among other places.

Further afield, we also cover the area around Buckland Hospital (1.9 miles south) and Dover Transport Museum (0.7 miles south). For a walk, there’s Dover Western Heights.
How the damage happens
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
CT16 questions
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
