Bath Re-enamelling for Craigentinny homes
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Craigentinny and the surrounding area, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Craigentinny
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Craigentinny
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Craigentinny. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repair or replace in Craigentinny?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common questions in Craigentinny
Are there extra charges for Craigentinny?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you come to Craigentinny?
We do. We send a technician to Craigentinny for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
