Bath re-enamelling for Lower Westholme homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lower Westholme

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and stains that won’t shift, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When to call us in Lower Westholme

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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 happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Lower Westholme. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Lower Westholme, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

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

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
