About Minard
Minard is about 22 miles west of Helensburgh, in Argyll and Bute. From the centre of Minard to the outlying streets, the service is the same: fixed prices, tidy work and a one-year guarantee. Our technicians cover all 118 towns and villages across Argyll and Bute, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Minard to Glasgow (about 42 miles away).
Jobs in PA32 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. That includes homes on Victoria Park and Otter View and the roads around them. If you are just outside Minard, we cover Kilmichael Glassary (8 miles west), Strachur (8 miles north-east), Bridgend (8 miles west), Ceann Loch Gilb (9 miles south-west) and Kilmartin (9 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Ardrishaig (10 miles south-west), Sandbank (15 miles south-east), Inbhir Aora (10 miles north-east) and Inveraray (10 miles north-east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so call us to arrange it.
Near you in Minard
We visit homes around Minard and the streets around them. Well-known places in the area include Minard Castle (1.4 miles south) and Mid Argyll (1.4 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Loch Sìtheanach.
Bath repair at your home in Minard
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. We are frequently asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
FAQs for Minard
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you work in Minard?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Minard from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
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.
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 any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Repair or replace in Minard?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we are called out for in Minard
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Look out for these signs:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
