Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Inveraray. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Inveraray
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and lots of chips and rust spots, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from Inveraray
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
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.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When to call us in Inveraray
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for these signs:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PA32 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Inveraray
If you manage property in Inveraray, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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 the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What affects the price in Inveraray
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Inveraray, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
