Bath Re-enamelling for Finstown homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Finstown, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
About our bath re-enamelling in Finstown
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Finstown as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Finstown
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Are there extra charges for Finstown?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you cover Finstown?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Finstown and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays

- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
