Common reasons people in Hoswick contact us include:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that will not shift
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Before you book anyone

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Bath re-enamelling in Hoswick, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hoswick, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Most customers in Hoswick get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Questions from Hoswick
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across the Shetland Islands.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Landlord and trade work in Hoswick
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
- A fixed quote before booking

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
