Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Summerley
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and lots of chips and rust spots.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Advice
What we’re called out for in Summerley
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Questions from Summerley
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Are there extra charges for Summerley?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
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.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
