Bath Re-enamelling for Ardlui homes
Our repair technicians come to Ardlui for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bath re-enamelling in Ardlui, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What affects the price in Ardlui
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Ardlui and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Questions from Ardlui
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ardlui.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Landlord and trade work in Ardlui
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ardlui use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace in Ardlui?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
