Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Bath re-enamelling in Rockingham without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
FAQs for Rockingham
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover Rockingham?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Rockingham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When to call us in Rockingham
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What affects the price in Rockingham
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
