About our bath re-enamelling in Summerseat

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can normally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Summerseat

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Summerseat customers choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Questions from Summerseat

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Summerseat is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Summerseat

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Summerseat, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
