Roughlee: your questions answered
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
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 Roughlee?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BB9 postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Roughlee
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We’re frequently asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Roughlee as everywhere else we work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Roughlee
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Roughlee
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that won’t shift
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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 most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Most customers in Roughlee get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Roughlee. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
