How we handle bath re-enamelling in Summerlands
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Summerlands questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover Summerlands?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Summerlands from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Summerlands
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Other services in Summerlands
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Summerlands get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
