Bath Re-enamelling for Craigens homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Craigens, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Bath re-enamelling in Craigens, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace in Craigens?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Craigens. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us

- Most jobs done in one visit

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
