Bath repair in The Tuckies, done in place
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. You can typically use the bath the day after. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and a chip where the taps sit, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairing versus replacing in The Tuckies
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
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.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
The Tuckies questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel

Common problems we fix in The Tuckies
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
