If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, whatever the material.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Landlord and trade work in Cairndow
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cairndow use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.

Cairndow questions
Which areas do you work in?
All of Argyll and Bute, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repair or replace in Cairndow?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
