Bath re-enamelling in Ilton without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ilton and across Somerset.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can

Related advice
Ilton: your questions answered
Do you work in Ilton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ilton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ilton?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Repair dripping taps early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What we’re called out for in Ilton
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Stains that will not shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Landlord and trade work in Ilton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Ilton
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths

Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- A fixed quote before booking

What affects the price in Ilton
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
