Bath re-enamelling for Roos homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Roos

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Roos

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What areas do you cover?

All of East Riding of Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Landlord and trade work in Roos

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Store bottles off the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Roos. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Roos

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

When to call us in Roos

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you are 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.
