Questions from Craigie
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across East Ayrshire.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Craigie
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We’re often asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What affects the price in Craigie
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Craigie?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected
- How to care for the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
