Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Port Appin, Argyll and Bute
Bath re-enamelling across Port Appin and nearby, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
About our bath re-enamelling in Port Appin
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Port Appin
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Port Appin?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
