Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Blackhill, Orkney Islands
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Blackhill, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that will not shift
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Bath re-enamelling in Blackhill, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Blackhill
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Blackhill, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What else we do in Blackhill
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Blackhill questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What we are called out for in Blackhill
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that will not shift
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
