Bath re-enamelling in Ardchonnell without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Argyll and Bute.

Ardchonnell: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ardchonnell?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PA35 postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What areas do you cover?

All of Argyll and Bute, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What we’re called out for in Ardchonnell

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Several chips and rust patches

10 questions to ask before you book

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repair or replace in Ardchonnell?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. We do not add 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.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Ardchonnell

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Ardchonnell

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
