How we handle bath re-enamelling in Grimbister
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Orkney Islands.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Grimbister: your questions answered
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Grimbister?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Grimbister included. Travel is included in the price.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
What affects the price in Grimbister
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
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 give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
