FAQs for Darley
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Darley
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Work for landlords and builders

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Darley. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Darley
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
