Repair or replace in Harper Hill?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Harper Hill
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
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.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Harper Hill questions
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
