Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Sandwick
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandwick use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry

Questions from Sandwick
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover the whole of the Shetland Islands?
We cover the entire UK, including Sandwick and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
