Bath re-enamelling at your home in Roche
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Common questions in Roche
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Roche.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What we’re called out for in Roche
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Clients usually contact us about:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
The process
You do not 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 typically takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Also near Roche
Also in Roche
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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 trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Roche
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What affects the price in Roche
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Roche. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
