Our bath re-enamelling service in Somerset

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

What it costs in Somerset

Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What’s near Taunton

In Taunton, that means homes near Vivary Park, Richard Huish College and Masons Arms. Nearby too are St George's Catholic School (within half a mile south), St Mary Magdalene (less than half a mile south-west) and The Castle School (0.8 miles west). The closest station to Taunton is Taunton station, roughly 0.5 miles north. Further afield, we also cover the area around Musgrove Park Hospital (0.9 miles west) and Castle Hotel (under half a mile west). For a walk, there’s Knowle Hill.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Have chips seen to early
Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

Holes rusted through the metal
Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
A bath split right through the body

Landlords, agents and businesses in Somerset

If you manage property in Somerset, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Somerset questions

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can landlords book you?

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

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.
