What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Ilminster. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Bath re-enamelling in Ilminster, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and stains that won’t shift, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ilminster and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Ilminster
Repairing versus replacing in Ilminster
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ilminster
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repairs by material
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 is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Questions from Ilminster
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ilminster?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ilminster
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that will not shift
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
