Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bath re-enamelling in Vassa without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Vassa?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work

Landlord and trade work in Vassa
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Where we work around Vassa
Vassa is in the Shetland Islands. We visit homes and businesses in Vassa, so there is no workshop to go to. Vassa is one of 63 towns and villages in the Shetland Islands we cover.
Here we cover the ZE2 postcode area. We also travel to Dury (4 miles north), Gott (5 miles south-west), Kalliness (5 miles south-west), Veensgarth (6 miles south-west) and Heogan (6 miles south). Larger places within reach include Lerwick (7 miles south), Sound (8 miles south), Scalloway (9 miles south-west) and Brae (11 miles north-west).

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Questions from Vassa
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Vassa?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
