How we handle bath re-enamelling in Greenigoe
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about stains that won’t shift and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Greenigoe
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover the whole of the Orkney Islands?
Across the UK, so Greenigoe is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Greenigoe
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Greenigoe. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
