Bath re-enamelling at your home in Craigiebank
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Different materials, different repairs
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’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Landlord and trade work in Craigiebank
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Craigiebank as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Repairing versus replacing in Craigiebank
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Craigiebank: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Craigiebank. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we’re called out for in Craigiebank
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
