Craobh Haven: your questions answered
Do you come to Craobh Haven?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Craobh Haven from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Craobh Haven
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We’re frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and stains that won’t shift, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Craobh Haven, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Craobh Haven
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
