Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Boddam, Shetland Islands
Our repair technicians come to Boddam for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, 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 and we will arrange it.
About our bath re-enamelling in Boddam
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Boddam. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we’re called out for in Boddam
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
