Bath Repair for Stromness homes
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Stromness, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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 day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Covering Stromness
Stromness is about 12 miles west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We agree a date that works for you, and you will know when to expect us, so there’s no waiting around. Stromness is one of 51 towns and villages in the Orkney Islands where we work.
Every address in KW16 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. We regularly work on streets such as Franklin Road, Manse Lane and Springfield Crescent and the roads around them. Being close to the A965, Stromness is simple for us to get to. Neighbouring places we cover include Cairston (1 mile north-east), Clouston (3 miles north-east), Stenness (4 miles north-east), Hoy (4 miles south) and Wasbister (4 miles north-east). As one of the bigger places in the Orkney Islands, Stromness sees plenty of our work. Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.
What’s near Stromness
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Stromness and stromness primary school. Further afield, we also cover the area around Stromness Museum (less than half a mile south). For a walk, there is Hill of Lynedardy and Brodgar RSPB Reserve.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

What affects the price in Stromness
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Stromness. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
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 without visiting.
Common problems we fix in Stromness
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps

Your questions about bath repair in Stromness
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
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.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Stromness and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
