- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.

Bath repair in Norseman, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Norseman and across the Orkney Islands.

When to call us in Norseman
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Where we work around Norseman
Norseman is about 7 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. From the centre of Norseman to the outlying streets, we offer exactly the same service: fixed prices, tidy work and a one-year guarantee. Norseman is one of 51 places in the Orkney Islands where we work.
Here we cover the KW17 postcode area. If you are just outside Norseman, we cover Isbister (1 mile east), Settiscarth (1 mile west), Gorseness (2 miles north-east), Tingwall (3 miles north-east) and Finstown (3 miles south). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.
Local landmarks in Norseman
Further afield, we also cover the area around Corrigall Farm Museum (3.4 miles west) and Langskaill House (4.1 miles north-east). Not far away are Ward of Redland and Loch of Brockan.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Norseman questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are there extra charges for Norseman?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
