Buildwas: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Bath repair in Buildwas, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the following day. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chip where the taps sit.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Other services in Buildwas
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: 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. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
