Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Bath re-enamelling in Braehoulland without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Covering Braehoulland
Braehoulland is about 28 miles north-west of Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands. Customers in Braehoulland get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed quote from your photos, then a visit to do the work. Our repair technicians cover all 63 towns and villages in the Shetland Islands.
Our visits in ZE2 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. We also travel to Hillswick (3 miles south-east), Urafirth (4 miles east), Hogaland (7 miles east), Ollaberry (8 miles east) and Sullom (8 miles south-east). If you’re somewhere remote, call first so we can plan the visit.
Around Braehoulland
Further afield, we also cover the area around Tangwick Haa Museum (1.2 miles south-west). For a walk, there is Loch of Braehoulland.
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 are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- One price list for the entire UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Braehoulland use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Common questions in Braehoulland
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Braehoulland?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
