How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Darwen. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Common problems we fix in Darwen
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
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.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Darwen: your questions answered
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Darwen?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
