About our bath re-enamelling in Craigour
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Craigour?
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Look out for these signs:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Craigour questions
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover Craigour?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Craigour for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What affects the price in Craigour
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
