Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Summerbridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What affects the price in Summerbridge
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Common problems we fix in Summerbridge
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that will not shift
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Advice
Common questions in Summerbridge
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Are there extra charges for Summerbridge?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
