How we handle bath re-enamelling in Rokeby
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Rokeby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common problems we fix in Rokeby
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots

More services for Rokeby
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Rokeby get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Rokeby
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you come to Rokeby?
We do. We send a technician to Rokeby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Rokeby?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DL12 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
What your bath is made of matters
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 check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
