Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Sandwick, Shetland Islands
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Sandwick, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sandwick
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. We are often asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What else we do in Sandwick
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Sandwick
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Sandwick included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
