Repair or replace in Darnley?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

About our bath re-enamelling in Darnley
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Darnley as everywhere else we work.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts 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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What we are called out for in Darnley
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Look out for these signs:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
