Bath re-enamelling in Voe, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Voe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Voe
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you come to Voe?
We do. We send a technician to Voe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you cover the whole of the Shetland Islands?
We cover the whole UK, including Voe and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What else we do in Voe
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Voe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, 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. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairing versus replacing in Voe
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- A fixed quote before you book
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
