How bath re-enamelling works in the Orkney Islands

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and wear marks under the taps.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.

We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
Primer and finish coats are applied.
The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Cost

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in the Orkney Islands

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for the Orkney Islands. The price reflects:

How many items we do on one visit
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
How easy the damage is to reach
Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A clear, close picture of the problem area
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
What it’s made of, if you know

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Fix dripping taps quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice.

Aftercare advice

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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in the Orkney Islands as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

FAQs for the Orkney Islands

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
