How we handle bath re-enamelling in D'Arcy
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, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in D'Arcy
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coloured bath you want in white

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
