Bath repair in Harper's Gate, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about holes from dropped items and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Harper's Gate questions
Are there extra charges for Harper's Gate?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Harper's Gate is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace in Harper's Gate?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
