Bath Re-enamelling in Ardminish
Bath re-enamelling across Ardminish and nearby, normally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ardminish
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Ardminish
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ardminish?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
When to call us in Ardminish
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
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.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
