Ardbrecknish questions
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ardbrecknish.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ardbrecknish
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot 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.

What we’re called out for in Ardbrecknish
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
