How we handle bath repair in Harper Bower

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage from a refit and a cracked acrylic bath.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Harper Bower. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Harper Bower?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

FAQs for Harper Bower

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Do you cover the whole of Calderdale?

We cover the entire UK, including Harper Bower and the rest of Calderdale. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
