Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Firth, Shetland Islands
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for homes and businesses in Firth and across the Shetland Islands. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Firth
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in Firth
What we are called out for in Firth
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- When it can be used again
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Firth as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Firth, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Common questions in Firth
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Firth?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Firth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Firth included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
