Bath re-enamelling in Ilchester without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

Landlord and trade work in Ilchester
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Ilchester
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Ilchester questions
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Ilchester is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Ilchester. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Repairing versus replacing in Ilchester
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
