Bath re-enamelling in Summerhill without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Summerhill
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Summerhill. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
