About bath repair in KW16
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage from a refit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in KW16
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Orkney Islands and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What we are called out for in KW16
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to KW16. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
Most customers in KW16 get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common questions in KW16
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How do I get a price for bath repair in KW16?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
