Landlords, agents and businesses in Craigside
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Craigside
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Craigside as everywhere else we work.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Craigside: your questions answered
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops

Common problems we fix in Craigside

- Worn patches where water runs and sits

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
The price 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 photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.
