How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kilmartin
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift, we can help, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Kilmartin, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we’re called out for in Kilmartin
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash

Repairing versus replacing in Kilmartin
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What else we do in Kilmartin
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
