About our bath re-enamelling in Summit

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What affects the price in Summit
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Summit. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Summit
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Summit as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Summit
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Summit
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

FAQs for Summit
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Summit?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your OL15 postcode.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
