Repairing versus replacing in Craigmillar
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Craigmillar
- Pressed steel baths

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Craigmillar use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
