Appleton Roebuck: your questions answered
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Appleton Roebuck
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Appleton Roebuck. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Appleton Roebuck
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
