Bath repair at your home in the Orkney Islands

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

We protect the bath and the floor around it.
We clean, key and degrease the damage.
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 day after.

What it costs in the Orkney Islands

Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Local landmarks in Kirkwall

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repairing versus replacing

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is.

Questions to ask before you book

Whether the colour is mixed to match
How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What preparation is included
What aftercare is recommended

Signs you need bath repair

Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

Chips along the edge of the bath
Chips under the taps
Chips caused by builders
An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

What the surface is made of
The type of damage
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The size and number of damaged areas

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.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

Any details about the material
Details of any past repairs
A photo taken from further back
Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
