Advice
How we handle bath repair in Cuffley
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about damage beneath the taps and a chipped rim or side.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Cuffley questions
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
