Bath re-enamelling at your home in Craigton

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and stains that won’t shift, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Craigton and across Dundee.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Craigton. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Craigton?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

FAQs for Craigton

Do you cover Craigton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Craigton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Craigton?

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Common reasons people in Craigton contact us include:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Wear marks under the taps
