About our bath re-enamelling in Craigcrook
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Craigcrook and across Edinburgh.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

FAQs for Craigcrook
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you come to Craigcrook?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Craigcrook and the rest of Edinburgh. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Craigcrook. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Craigcrook. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
