The roof does not appear to leak, but is quite old and has a couple of
big 'bubbles' on it. Some areas still have chippings. I would like to
extend its life but am not sure what to use; I've seen bitumen based
coatings (cheap) or acrylic (very expensive) What is the best thing
to use? How should I treat the bubbles? The roof is about 10 sq.m.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

If its not broken don't fix it

If you want it to look pretty strip it completely and start again

there are several options for this from diy butyl membrane to professional
torch on felt.
I have not used any of them so would take advice from the group as to the
merits of each

If its basically sound, you could probably lay a coat of torch on felt
over the top. I would pierce the bubbles first though and make sure it
is only air under and not water.

Some of the torch on felts are very impressive - very thick and
extremely strong when compared to ordinary felt.
