Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stenness
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace in Stenness?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Stenness. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
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 we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Landlord and trade work in Stenness
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Questions from Stenness

Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
