How we handle bath repair in Tenston
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chip where the taps sit, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in Tenston?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Tenston questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work in Tenston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Tenston and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on

Tenston and nearby
Tenston is about 12 miles west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. From the centre of Tenston to the outlying streets, we offer exactly the same service: a fixed price, a tidy visit and a guarantee. We cover 51 places across the Orkney Islands, from the larger towns to small villages.
We work across KW16. If you’re just outside Tenston, we cover Wasbister (1 mile south), Russland (2 miles north-east), Hourston (2 miles north-east), Skeabrae (3 miles north) and Harray (3 miles east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so call us to arrange it.
Near you in Tenston
Further afield, we also cover the area around Skara Brae Visitor Centre (2.8 miles north-west). Open spaces near Tenston include Mill Dam of Rango and Hill of Miffia.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
What we’re called out for in Tenston
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
