How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bowmore
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bowmore
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Questions from Bowmore
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bowmore.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Where we work around Bowmore
Bowmore (Gaelic: Bogh Mòr) is about 38 miles north of Ballycastle, in Argyll and Bute. We visit customers in Bowmore and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to. We work in 118 places in Argyll and Bute. You can also see our page for Glasgow, about 78 miles away.
We work across PA43. Whether you live on High Street, Main Street and The Square or anywhere nearby, a technician can come to you. Close by, we cover Port Charlotte (4 miles west), Keills (8 miles north-east), Imeraval (9 miles south), Port Askaig (9 miles north-east) and Port Ellen (10 miles south-east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Bowmore
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
When to call us in Bowmore
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Clients normally contact us about:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bowmore, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
