Bath re-enamelling in Rackwick without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and stains that won’t shift.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Rackwick. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rackwick. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Rackwick
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Rackwick?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Which areas do you work in?
All of the Orkney Islands, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Landlord and trade work in Rackwick
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rackwick use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your KW17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
When to call us in Rackwick
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
