Gwavas: your questions answered
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are there extra charges for Gwavas?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover Gwavas?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Gwavas from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Should you replace it?
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 where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why us?
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A fixed quote before booking
- No need to remove anything

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gwavas
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
