Bath re-enamelling in Craigends without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can typically put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Craigends. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. 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 we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Craigends
Do you cover Craigends?
We do. We send a technician to Craigends for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Craigends. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Craigends customers choose us
- No need to remove anything
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We leave the room as we found it
- Usually one visit, start to finish
