Bath repair in Clouston, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Clouston and across the Orkney Islands.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Also in Clouston
Your questions about bath repair in Clouston
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of the Orkney Islands. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
When to call us in Clouston
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Clouston and the surrounding area
Clouston is about 9 miles west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We travel to homes and businesses in Clouston and the surrounding area, so you don’t need to take anything anywhere. Clouston is one of 51 towns and villages in the Orkney Islands where we work.
Postcode districts we cover here: KW16. Neighbouring places we cover include Stenness (1 mile north-east), Cairston (2 miles west), Grimeston (2 miles north), Germiston (3 miles east) and Wasbister (3 miles north-west). For island and remote addresses, ring us first and we’ll plan the trip.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Clouston. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you’re in Clouston and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Clouston
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
