Trusted bath re-enamelling in Ashill

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

About our bath re-enamelling in Ashill

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and stains that won’t shift.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the whole UK

Common questions in Ashill

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Somerset.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 often lifts.

What we’re called out for in Ashill

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that won’t shift

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
