DIY repairs versus a professional job
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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
About our bath re-enamelling in Hamnavoe
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

FAQs for Hamnavoe
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Hamnavoe is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Hamnavoe

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we’re called out for in Hamnavoe
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
