Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Darrington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Darrington questions
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you come to Darrington?
We do. We send a technician to Darrington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
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.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Darrington
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
When to call us in Darrington
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for these signs:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
