DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Aywick
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and thin, worn enamel in places.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we are called out for in Aywick
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Aywick
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you work in Aywick?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Aywick and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What else we do in Aywick
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Aywick and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
