Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Gulberwick, Shetland Islands
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Gulberwick, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Stains that will not shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gulberwick
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and chips and rust in more than one place, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Shetland Islands.

Common questions in Gulberwick
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What else we do in Gulberwick
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gulberwick
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gulberwick as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
