Landlord and trade work in Port Appin
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Port Appin: your questions answered
Do you come to Port Appin?
We do. Technicians travel to Port Appin from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What affects the price in Port Appin
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
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.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
