Bath re-enamelling in Cullivoe, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cullivoe. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Common questions in Cullivoe
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Cullivoe?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
