About our bath re-enamelling in Ardchattan
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
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
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ardchattan
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Ardchattan
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover Ardchattan?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ardchattan from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Common problems we fix in Ardchattan
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that will not shift
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
