Bath repair in Midland, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What else we do in Midland
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Midland, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Midland
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across the Orkney Islands.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Midland included. Travel is included in the price.
Are there extra charges for Midland?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Midland
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairing versus replacing in Midland
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Midland and the surrounding area
Midland is about 9 miles south-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We agree a date that works for you, and you’ll know when to expect us, so there’s no waiting around. Our repair technicians cover all 51 towns and villages across the Orkney Islands, from the larger towns to small villages.
Our technicians cover all of KW17. We also cover the places around Midland: Orphir (1 mile north-east), Clestrain (2 miles north-west), Kirbister (3 miles north-east), Germiston (4 miles north) and Clouston (5 miles north-west). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so call us to arrange it.
Local landmarks in Midland
In Midland, that means homes near Round Kirk. Not far away are Water of the Wicks and Hill of Midland.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
