Repairing versus replacing in Roborough
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why Roborough customers choose us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business

Bath re-enamelling in Roborough, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Roborough
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you cover the whole of Plymouth?
We work UK-wide, so Roborough is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are there extra charges for Roborough?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Roborough. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Roborough, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
