Darnick questions
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
About our bath re-enamelling in Darnick
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Common problems we fix in Darnick
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Landlord and trade work in Darnick
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
