Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Sound, Shetland Islands
Problem with your bath in Sound? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Sound included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Sound?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Wear marks under the taps

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ZE1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace in Sound?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Fixed prices from your photos

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
For anyone letting property in or around Sound, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
