Bath re-enamelling for Craigo homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Craigo

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.

Common problems we fix in Craigo

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Craigo questions

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Craigo is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DD10 postcode.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
