Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hillswick
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Hillswick questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do you cover Hillswick?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hillswick and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Repairing versus replacing in Hillswick
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hillswick use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Hillswick. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ZE2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Hillswick
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole
